Copper Coast Motorsports Sand Drags to Ignite Wallaroo on September 6/7
WALLAROO, SA - Copper Coast Motorsports is proud to announce that the SA Boundary Line Fencing Sand Drags will return in 2025 for a two-day weekend of high-speed action. Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled spectacular on Saturday, September 6th, and Sunday, September 7th, at the Club’s track off Magazine Road.
This year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever, drawing racers and enthusiasts from across the state and beyond. The track will see a thrilling mix of vehicles battle it out, including everything from high-powered V8 sand drag bikes, and modified buggies, to classic motocross bikes and tricked-out quad bikes. The excitement doesn't stop there - the sand will also be flying under the wheels of a wide array of Juniors who will be testing themselves down the strip.
"The 2024 event was a huge success, and the 2025 two-day spectacular is set to be bigger and better,” says Copper Coast Motorsports President Wick Dayman. “Last year we had just over 70 competitors and over 2,000 spectators, so we're expecting even more in 2025. It's truly a family-friendly event, and we love seeing everyone, from the racers to the spectators, having a great time."
The event is designed to be affordable and approachable for all. Gates open at 8:00 AM, with racing scheduled from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on both days. Spectators can enjoy a variety of food and drink vendors on-site. The excitement continues on Saturday night with live music and a bonfire, making it the perfect outing for the whole family.
"This is good old-fashioned, fast, family fun for all ages," Dayman adds. "We’ve worked hard to create an environment where everyone feels welcome, whether they're seasoned racers or just coming to check out the action. The sound of the engines, the thrill of the race, and the friendly atmosphere make it a fantastic day out. We want anyone who's keen to have a look to come on down."
For those interested in competing, online registration is available through the link on the Copper Coast Motorsports FaceBook, or by contacting the Club directly. With classes for all types of vehicles and ages, there's a place for everyone to get in on the action. The Club encourages entrants of all experience levels to sign up and take on the challenge.
“Whether you're a competitor or a spectator, this is an affordable day out that provides non-stop entertainment," says Dayman. “The kids love watching the buggies and quads tear up the track, and the adults get a kick out of the V8s. It’s the kind of event that makes lasting memories for everyone."
Safety comes first – so competitors must accept vehicle scrutineering, proper registering, and have a competition license.
