Pics by Neil Phillipson and Jeff Latham CSRA Background: The CSRA was formed by like-minded, older generation, competitors and enthusiasts who enjoyed a “heyday” of South African production bike racing in the 1980’s as spectators, road riders and competitors. CSRA allows these enthusiasts to relive their youth and compete, in modern times, on bikes that were Kings of the Track back in the day! The highlight of each race 58 RIDEFAST MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2021
season, Covid allowing, has traditionally been the two race meeting International Classic TT when riders from the UK, Scotland, Ireland and France travel to SA for bragging rights and fierce racing on SA soil! International superstars, Ian Simpson, James Hillier, Michael Dunlop, Alan Duffus, Howard Selby, Gordon Grigor, Iain “Fearless” Macpherson and Steve Parrish have graced our circuits on machines flown in from abroad There are 3 categories for the CSRA: Formula 1 – Bikes from 1984 – 1989 Formula 2 – Bikes from 1975 – 1983 Formula 750 – Bikes up to 1975 and any 750 up to 1989, 2 strokes up to and including 1993. Riders must be 35yrs or older to compete in this series, tires, suspension and engine mods are open. Given the age of the competitors and machinery, one would be forgiven for thinking that the riders merely parade around the track for each race. In reality though, once the flag drops, the racing is as intense and fierce as any MotoGP race – well nearly anyway! For any information relating to the CSRA or information on how to become involved, please contact - Mike McSkimming on 083 632 9165 Roll on 2022! The old gals have still got it! Wind, dust and heat greeted the competitors for the final round of the Classic Superbike Racing Association race meeting held at the legendary Phakisa Freeway in Welkom on the 13th November. Three new class champions were crowned on the day! As has been the norm for 2021, the CSRA class again made up the biggest field on the day with 23 Classic race prepared motorcycles lining up on the grid to do battle. The racing up front was close with 4 riders swopping the lead on numerous occasions for most of the race until invitational rider AJ Venter on an IVID sponsored GSX-R1100 and Paul Jacobs managed to break away for top honors in the F1 class, followed home by class newcomer Matthew Herbert and reigning Champ Jaco Gous. Reigning F2 champion Mike McSkimming’s Katana cried “No more!” with only 3 laps to go leaving Fergal McAdam to take the win from father and son Dylan and Iain Pinkerton, both on GSX1100’s. Mike’s DNF meant that Fergal closed to within 1 point of the championship lead! Ewoud Pienaar continued his good run of form this year winning out the F750 class from Lionel Black, riding a borrowed GSX-R750 and F750 class stalwart Gary Edwards. With this event being the final round of the 2021 WOM Race Series and other track events taking place on the same day, the race meeting was in danger of being cancelled due to a lack of entries across the other classes. A massive thanks must go out to the CSRA and HMG who stepped in and covered the financial shortfall, thus making sure that this event took place! 2021 CRSA Championship Results: F1: F2: F750: Jaco Gous Mike McSkimming Ewoud Pienaar Paul Jacobs Fergal McAdam Lionel Black Jared Millar Iain Pinkerton Gary Edwards RIDEFAST MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2021 59
