crescent girl Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Based on past years, will Winchester, Woodward, Grajczonek and Brady Kurtz not get automatic invitations as State Champs? Again as it has been, I presume ten are seeded, six join in from the qualifier? Which, apart from the State Champions above might be (given they have nominated) Holder, Batchelor, Watt, Schlein, Doyle and any one from Tungate, Smith or North?

Yes they should and also the first South Australian in the meeting from sat night who is eligable or who wants to take his place ,ie Shane said he woudnt be doing it , so Budgie should have next option.

JJJ Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Motorcycling Australia have announced the entries and seeds. The eight seeded riders are: Dakota North, Jason Doyle, Cameron Woodwood, Rohan Tungate, Chris Holder, Jack Holder, Troy Batchelor, Josh Grajczonek. Other entrants who will attempt to qualify: Mason Campton, Hunter Anderson, Tyson Nelson, Justin Sedgmen, Brodie Waters, Jake Allen, Nick Morris, Alan MacDonald, Sam Masters, Jake Anderson, Daine Stevens, Matthew Day, Jye Etheridge, Tyson Snow, Joey Ringwood, Max Fricke. I can only assume a number of notable riders have not entered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 So, no Darcy, no Watt, no Schlein, no Kozza Smith (is he fit?).... No Brady Kurtz -- is he concentrating on the U-21? Next question: On what basis can MA put Jack Holder into the main event ahead of Nick Morris or Sam Masters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 No Brady Kurtz -- is he concentrating on the U-21? No his full concentration is on hoodwinking British Speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question: On what basis can MA put Jack Holder into the main event ahead of Nick Morris or Sam Masters? From what iv been told was 4 state holders (J Holder taking Kurtz place he withdrew) then top 4 seeded from last year and Chris Holder. Adds to 9 so assume one of state holders was top 4 last year (Woodward?) Kurtz missing out to perhaps protect his 3 avg?? (im not sure on that one) Edited December 10, 2013 by Cj69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Cj69 is right. Woodward won the Victorian and the SA titles and came third in last year's championship. Cameron is a class act. Jack Holder qualified in lieu of Brady Kurtz. I saw Brady win the NSW title last Saturday in a blistering display. An intersection of speed, ambition and quality was never going to be denied. I don't know why he didn't enter for the National Championship. If i get a chance, I'll ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobs Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 His brother's name isn't there, either. Also, no mention of anyone from the WA title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly 41 Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 No matter who is entered, it could be a good year. Holder and Batchelor will be desperate to show which of them is the main man down here, Woodward is going as well as he has in his life and none of these guys can take guys like Josh G or Jason D for granted. I'm going up to Undera and to Gillman, just wish I could make Kurri too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I got to Kurri and Undera last year. Stopped off at Glenrowan, right in Ned Kelly country. Will do both again this year. I would like to go to Gillman, but it is a long, long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primary Chain Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 So can someone tell me about the Underra track? As I have asked before, is it like any British tracks in shape and size? Have dates so now it's just a matter of getting back to the lucky country.

JJJ Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Undera is smallish and not very wide. It is critical to gate well there, as it is difficult to come from behind. It is technically challenging and not so much the full throttle, big squirt like Gillman or Kurri. It is important to know that it is in the middle of nowhere. Be careful travelling at night, because the area has a large population of big kangaroos. I hit one coming back from the speedway last year and the resulting off road experience, was almost my last. I was lucky. If you are going to hit an Australian marsupial, it is best to do it in an Australian car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Kelly 41 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Don't talk to me about roos, they must be the stupidest animals in the world (after cricketing Poms). As for Undera, it is 270 metres around, with a stone-based shale surface. A guy I talked with last year told me it was like Wolves.

Mr Blobby Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 From the videos I've seen of the place it looks a bit like Armadale which is 260m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks A F , I always go to updates but there is usually a notification on here, it is not a major meeting or maybe Sue has been on the orange juice and not able to post on here, she does a sterling job and maybe just enjoying Christmas. I will check tomorrow on updates, here or Aus Speedway Forum. Edited December 25, 2013 by A ORLOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
