For the latest news on the antics of the local, International & Interstate party-goers Facebook would be the go, but there'll be a few sore heads this morning after the Meet the Riders binge last night.

One of the Pommy teams blew a carby after backfiring and catching fire yesterday, and Mick Headland set the fastest time at Practice, lapping in the high14 seconds bracket.

From FIM:

 

Darrin Treloar and Jesse Headland are the 2011 FIM Track Racing Sidecar 1000cc World Champions after they held off the advances fellow Aussies of Glenn O'Brien and Aaron Maynard and Grant Bond and Simon Cox to claim the crown in front of a bumper crowd at Murray Bridge Speedway.

 

A five-time Australian Champion and 2008 World Champion Treloar added another significant piece of silverware to his bulging trophy cabinet, while Headland continued his amazing family tradition in the premier Speedway Sidecar event, winning back-to-back World titles as a passenger.

 

A delighted Treloar said winning a World title on Australian soil was the ultimate feeling.

 

"You can't get any better than that. It feels unreal," Treloar said. "We've done it here in Australia in front of Jesse's home town and although it isnt my hometown I ride here every week and it feels like a hometown."

 

An equally ecstatic Headland said it was a dream come true to win in Murray Bridge.

 

"You really can't ask for anything more than that," Headland said. "It was a great night, with a top-class field and a great crowd."

 

Headland was called upon by Treloar to serve as his passenger in the absence of regular partner Justin Plaisted, with the pair striking an immediate partnership.

 

"We didn't have much time and we had to gel straight away," Treloar said. "Jesse's never ridden for me so he had to leave how I ride and we only had one meeting prior to tonight to work it out. But we did what we had to do and it all came good."

Seems the 1000cc sidecar world championship will not be held again. There is no mention of it on the official F.I.M. fixture list for the 2013 season.
