We used to go to the Speedway Royale - now Fox Studios - in the 50s and 60s. I'm sure it was the smell of methanol that got me addicted to cars for the remainder of my life. I've been back to a Speedway only once and that was to Parramatta about 15-20 years ago, but the red flags came out every couple of laps and there was no continuity - I wasn't all that impressed. However, when they got running they were pretty impressive.
