I hope all of South Australia supports the event and I hope to see many old and new fans on the day.”

Trophy Karts have also been added to the night’s motorsport entertainment and three-time Superbike world champion Troy Bayliss was the first to put his hand up to race: “These Trophy Karts look so much fun, I can’t wait to tear up Gillman Speedway along with a handful of other guest that will compete on the night.

“The first two I would like to announce is Jason Crump, he can’t wait to jump behind the wheel and hit some jumps. The second driver is young South Australian, 2018 UTV Finke winner and Australian Off-Road Championship runner-up, Toby Whateley.
