We always love going out to Inside Line races in South Australia, they always put on a good show so we were keen for round 1 at the infamous Willunga. This race was using the ‘Kite’ track which got its name after after a club member came into a spot of bother when attempting to fly his kite A�few years ago…

Willunga is always wide open with the wind playing a big part of puzzle when it comes to getting down with a fast time!

The weekend played out well with beautiful weather conditions and even the iconic kite flying wind wasn’t at its full strength. The track itself was much the same as raced previously with a few changes here and there, the bunting made the biggest difference.

With a few storm clouds around it threatened to rain but never really did.

There was a good turn out of racers with plenty of new faces, unfortunately there were also a few gnarly crashes, get well soon everyone! We also noticed that a lot of riders were out on trail type bikes, a growing trend no doubt.

Cam Ryan pulled a 4th place on his 'small bike' in Elite, clearly it didn't hinder him that much!
