spiderweb Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 In the lead up to the Aussie Sidecar Title we witnessed this great final at Mildura 14/03/09. Its developing into the most open Title in years with at least 8 sidecar crews in with a chance of winning it! If the link below dont work type in Cleave Power Final into You Tube Enjoy!

chopper Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Got a late night text last night saying that Mark Mitchell and Tom Golding had taken out the Aust Title. You wouldnt meet a couple of nicer guys so well done. That means the mighty SA had now dominated two of the three major titles, the sidecars and under 16s. All we need now is the solo title, go SA. Dont have anymore details sure someone who went will fill us in. Cheers Chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to Mark Mitchell and Tom Golding. What a wonderful achievement from a family that has done a lot more for speedway than most people realise. I agree with all the comments on here about Treloars behaviour disappointing to say the least. Here goes: Mitchell gated superbly with Treloar Christopher and Howse all together. Coming out of turn 4 Treloar gets underneath Mitchell side by side touching as they crossed the start finish line.Turn 3 Treloar holds the pole line On his outside Mitchell up in the dirt gets driven wide by Treloar and crosses up more than he wanted to. Treloar is gone . Mitchell high near the fence straightens up and struggles to hold it straight , with Tom in the chair leaning to the left of the rider. (If Christopher had not have hit Mitchell i think he would have just gone infield or very tight into turn 3.) So Mitchell was up high, Christopher kept low and gunned it they clashed hard. Tom was thrown off the sidecar, and both went infield. Red light. Christopher came up to the pit gate the fairing was damaged and the sidecar frame bent obstructing the chair wheel the pit crew desperately working with tyre levers to bend the frame back The yellow (Christopher)exclusion light came on. The crowd booed with disbelief and of course Scotty and his crew went berserk. Meanwhile Mark and Tom stopped on the other side of the track, and Mark was limping around checking the bike over. Scotty jumped on the pit phone GP style and was trying to make his point. BJ on the centre green was trying to calm people as chants of Bulls#t Bullsh#t rang thought the air! The big screen played the incident again witch kept the cheers of Bulls#t Bullsh#t going longer. Even a certain injured sidecar rider was waving his walking stick around dangoursly whilst trying to climb the fence! Eventually the Qlders wheeled the bike away in disgust. At the start it was Mitchell Treloar and Howse after the 3 wide scuffle into turn one Mitchell was first followed by Treloar. Howse copped and face full of dirt and fell back.Treloar attacked Mitchell but Mitchell covered all Treloars moves and Mark Mitchell and Tom Golding are the new AUST 1! Any one else there saw it differently I would love to know as I have not seen a video just what was shown at the track. __________________ the older i get the faster i was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
