Thank you Wayne, hope you are happy and healthy :)

Looks very promising 😊

not sure what you were expecting? but if you can better you are welcomed to come and give it a try, i'll save you a seat!

@@Paris_Charles But Id still fall asleep.

@@TassyDeval guess i can't please everyone :/ oh well maybe you will enjoy another video?

Venue was sold after Bob and Wendy retired from speedway

that would be great to see it back up and running

Speedway City was alive and well when I made this video in 2011.

Not exactly sure what you were expecting?

I believe it is a 3.5L V6 engine from the Mitsubishi Magna? I could be wrong though?

​@Paris_Charles the magna v6s yeah 👌

They’re 3.0 litre V6 Magna motors running on methanol

it was a long day, but it was an enjoyable experience. what episodes did you participate in?

@@Paris_Charles 6x17 part 2 Truck stop. And a couple at the Gungalen Hotel. And the Gungalen 150th Anniversary Hall Dance.

it was a great event and i believe that it has been locked in for a 3 year deal?

Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, NAPA Speedway Sprintcars in the City was pretty special. :)

I honestly don't know? Possibly he just knew the importance of the event and the professionalism required to be on national free to air TV 6pm news. :)

at your service, I hope you enjoy my videos :)

​@@Paris_CharlesGreat video. Poor views for the fans without any rise in vantage point.

I am confident that this will improve in the future after the success of last night

Far more exciting than the Supercars.....

​@@glenncastell864 I feel that this event will grow bigger and better :)

The last official event was Saturday 14th of April 2018.

@@Paris_Charles crazy been 6 yrs

i don't know the logistics and or the costs sorry

@@Paris_Charles Cheers Mate,, thanks for the reply. I hope that after all the back patting they found the event financially viable and a kick start towards more sustainable world class events

Thank you, this is a very important weekend for Speedway in South Australia.

Hi, all of the running times will either be listed on the Sprintcars SA or Adelaide 500 Facebook pages / websites. I am also unsure of the running times

@@Paris_Charles If your not sure,,, thats not a good sign

I am very hopeful and I believe it will be a fantastic showcase for Speedway :)

​@@Paris_Charles Australian Sprintcar Fan here. I've been a Sprintcar fanatic for the past 45 years or more, and I've been following Thomas (a.k.a "Tmez") for the last few years on KZbin, a totally new experience for me as an "over 60yr old." I just love Speedway, and it certainly deserves more "main stream" coverage than it gets these days.

@@frenzalrhomb6919 I am just learning about who Tmez is as of today.

@@Paris_Charles agree 💯 % enjoy there a lot of fun, I retired back in 2007, boy do I miss it, plus to old now 😉 😀

Thank you so much 👍

This is a temporary track put in on a cricket oval.

@Ray-ew2jv ok but still cool to see the sport evolving as it needs help big time in Australia 🇦🇺 👍🍻

thank you, let's hope the event provides a good showcase for Speedway :)

Bob, we will never forget his kindness and a true man of his word

not that i am aware of? we are looking for a new suitable location / option

No problem 👍

yes still a market but now trying to find new options and a new location to go again

It was huge and many people were all watching from across the street.

yes we had some fun as the murray bridge commentary team thats for sure trev.

Thanks Trev, a man who loved Speedway and in return, we loved him also

Do you know that they'll ever bring it back

sadly so but we are always looking and working on new options and locations, etc

It was a very special place.

@@Paris_Charles Yes mate, it most certainly was. I have many fond memories of the place going back to the late 1970s and early 1980s.

That's so cool, do u have a copy of the song?

@@Paris_Charles Im trying my hardest to find it on youtube. it was for the racing here in Adelaide. there was a female backup singer in the song belting out very powerful backing vocals. the clip would be 30secs to maybe a minute and a bit..

​@@scottmark5345 I heard it! I've heard it!! Definitely, and on KZbin, but ya' know, I'm certain that it was on a commercial from Claremont Speedway in Perth. It was a good old, hard rockin" tune. Yep, I've definitely heard it.

​@Paris_Charles By bloody Crikey, I wish I could have been there. Have a look at some of those beautiful beasts. I think that the Sprintcar reached its apotheosis of design features in the years between 1978-1988. That, for my money, would have to be when the most "pleasing" ascetics were produced, like the Stanton's, Trossels, Gamblers, Felsch, all those beautiful old (now) Sprintcars. But I go back further than that, to a time when all "Sprintcar Racing" was in Australia was "Modified Sprintcar Association" it was right there in the name, these things were actually often built by the bloke that raced them.

@@frenzalrhomb6919 I snagged it as a video and converted it to mp3 ill give it to my Uncle next time I see him. He was a singer in the 70, 80s, 90s and had lot of connections in the day - DJ's (hes still friends with a well known one here in SA who comes to our family functions every now and again). He was friends with Bon Scott back in the day hes from that generation- friends and toured with the top Aussie singers and bands.

speed and top heavy

Something tells me that you don't have much time for Sprintcar Politics? Because that's what it comes down to. They see more bums on seats at a Sprintcar meeting and then their palms start to get itchy for that "filthy Luca" coming in the gates, and then you get a few of them on the committee, and before you know, the bikes get sidelined for the Sedan/Speedcar/Sprintcar mix at the meetings.

I am so sorry to hear this happened to you and also other bike people. Speedway City is no longer an active track and the land has been sold. Please feel free to watch some of my other videos to see what is left of Speedway City.

Oh no. It feels like the end of an era. R.I.P old mate, and it's "left turn all the way to Heaven"

we will miss wacka, but we will never forget him

Hi Peter, I am unaware of the prices for this season, would you like to share admission costs please?

@@Paris_Charles club show to watch up on viewing deck cost me $40.00. Speed week will cost $55.00. Next weekend is the same both nights. No wonder there weren't many people there for the opening night.

@@petergreen9564 thank you letting me and others know the price has increased

very kind :)

hi yes, sadly, it did not get off the ground, too many council regulations blocked the plans

@ typical councils

Hi Sam, I did ask for permission.

Happy to help

Maybe you need to go to the next meeting.

Sorry I just did photos. I invite you next season to come and do the video :)

Glad you enjoyed the video. 😊

I hope so too and thank you for the kind words, I hope you enjoy my page. I believe it is important to keep the memories and history alive :)

such a shame to hear, it was a good venue when i visited. thank you for the update.
