Sydney visit Saturday
Hi guy's, I'll be at a loose end in Sydney on Saturday night. Anyone want to show me their build and chew the fat a while or even suggest some attraction for me to check out?
No drag meet on - that would have been good. Dropping the girls to a concert at Homebush so free from about 6 to 11. Cheers Dave |

I'm across town but Parramatta Speedway is fairly close to Olympic Park. In the good old days you could have walked to 'The Brickies'. Sydney's Valvoline Raceway |
Hey thanks Peter, terrific idea. I haven't seen a sprint car live in over 20 years. They closed Tralee speedway here about 18 years back. Noise complaints from encroaching suburbs.
They built another one here but I think it's pretty low key. Tralee was one of the premier tracks back in the day. |
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.

Thanks Peter for this suggestion. Had a fat time - watching those sprint cars never gets old. 900hp on a 1/4 mile dirt oval; simply incredible.
