Motocross track for south one step closer with Motorcycling SA to hold talks with Onkaparinga Council MOTORCYCLING SA will approach Onkaparinga Council to find a site for a new motocross track in the southern suburbs. Motorcycling SA general manager Chris McArdle said he would meet with council staff to negotiate a potential site for a new track following the deaths of two motorcyclists in Lonsdale this month. More than 500 people signed a petition in favour of a new track late last year. Mr McArdle said Motorcycling SA was aware of the need for a track in the south. "Given the ongoing need for it and South Coast's continued push for it, I'm happy to engage with council directly to identify any possible areas," Mr McArdle said. We have been looking at local areas for off road motorcycling facilities, including the southern area to the replace that void. A 33-year-old Happy Valley man and a 24-year-old Aberfoyle Park man were killed when their motorbikes collided on Meyer Rd on Saturday, January 5. South Coast Motocross Club secretary Ken Burke told the Southern Times Messenger earlier this month having a legal track for riders in the south could prevent future accidents. The motocross club has been in limbo since bikes greater than 100cc were banned from its Old Noarlunga track in 2007. The club's former site is being redeveloped as a vineyard by Mollydooker Wines and riders have to travel to tracks at Victor Harbor or Murray Bridge.
