A really goodvtrack, lots of classes racing. Plenty of parking .. adults $25 golf card and youth $15 ... that's a good price for 3 plus hours of racing. Food trucks on site
Went to the Speedway tonight. Perfect weather for the fireworks event they had. Spectacular show. 17 minutes of fantastic fireworks. Loved it. Well organised as always. plenty of security and eyes everywhere to feel like it was family friendly and safe. Loos were clean. 2 blocks of loos either side of the track. Great racing skills on display and just enough bumps and and such to keep it more exciting. Price of admission was well worth a full night of fun. They have food trucks and coffee. No alcohol, but that was fine. Totally recommend. Waiting for the demolition derby coming up.
Awesome night out!! Fantastic and family friendly. Great that I can take in my own food too.
This is a review of their annual fireworks display meeting which is usually held early November but was postponed a couple of times to 7 December because of bad weather.nThis years fireworks display was superb, and probably better than the displays that Wellington Council used to host for Guy Fawkes. We are very glad we attended. The actual speedway racing was exciting as usual.nThe venue has a wide range of food offerings from food trucks and caravans. A great family night out.
Awesome place for a family night out. Whether you're a motorsport enthusiast or not this is very entertaining.nWith fast paced racing with lots of action, there is hardly any time spent watching nothing at allnTips: this place can get cold and windy. Dress warm or at least pack some warn clothes. Bring a blanket. Wear sunglasses more for the dirt/dust that gets flicked up from the racing. Bring earmuffs/earplugs for the kids.nYou can take food in so if you are on a budget Bring a picnic dinner or pizzas from domino's. While there are multiple food and drink vendors around the speedway it can make for an expensive outing.nBest events to go to in the season would be the sprint cars, demolition derby and fireworks night.
