$100 Million Speedway DISASTER: What Went Wrong?

[@jameslover012]

Thanks Toby. You have exposed so many more problems than any of us could imagine. It's a complete nightmare.

[@troycarnall7609]

Thank you Toby for such an unbiased report on the whole situation.

[@garrettfrancis1429]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but here in the US , if the government wants a piece of land and a track is on it, for the most part they'll pretty much just take it and tell the track owner/promoter to go pound sand and the track is permanently gone with nothing to replace it. We have lost some great tracks because of government, and greedy/shady developers over the years. One of those being Ascot park in Gardena CA.

[@peterbubb5811]

The Mile in Syracuse NY is an example

[@ribbonsofnight]

Doesn't it make you wish you had the NSW government, to give you a season of racing that only makes you wish you still had what you used to have.

[@thewayidoit8895]

Garrett Francis, Your last two letters tell it all : CA

[@thewayidoit8895]

​@@peterbubb5811I never saw a race at the Syracuse mile. I've been to the track and walked around it several times. I know it was a storied place for Modifieds annual finale but it was much too long and fast. They tried running late models there but I understand that the speeds with horrific crash stopped that. The first time they ran late models on clay at Bristol it came down to attrition. Wheels broke, engines blew and chassis cracked. When they did it recently the cars had evolved to better handle it.

[@garrettfrancis1429]

@@ribbonsofnight yes, but won't be holding my breath.

[@L4NG3R5_89]

Brilliant insightful video Toby. It’s honestly hard to see this joint ever been viable for anybody to run, let alone the government fixing the mistakes made. I fear for the future of our sport and what it’s going to look like, but thankful you are at frontline fighting for us all Toby. Keep up the great work.

[@michaelsonnon2333]

Nice job Toby! This is a textbook example of what happens when government gets involved in anything.

No, it is when governments don't listen to relevant people.

Too much government screws everybody! The only “fix”that will work is to vote out greedy politicians! Obviously, this track didn’t cost millions...where did the rest of the money go?

[@davidvanderklauw]

No. It is what happens when most voters rote-vote their granddad's favourite party regardless of policy or outcomes.

[@jasonmc4460]

​@@davidvanderklauwI didn't vote Liberal but personally I don't think it is just a a Liberal issue or even just government, we see these issues where the wrong person/s are put in charge without experience in the field. We all know someone like this, example: Cert 4 trainer and assessor with maybe a trade, then training something they have no skill or experience in, then our government wonders why standards go down. It was once a requirement to have trade experience before becoming an engineer in that field.

You've done very well on this video! Was wondering what was happening to the brand new track.

[@wizardwall1013]

Hi Toby I have been speedway supporter for over 50 years and never heard of such a stuff up as this . I just hope it can be resolved in my opinion it’s very important to have a top class

[@hawkifish]

Man, this sucks! Great video as always Toby. I found one detail very interesting in that you broke down the number of hours of operation per year. That's an important detail in any track operation that most people probably don't think about.

[@johnstaring3210]

I am so shocked at what I have just heard. One can only suspect something awfully corrupt has gone down here. Thank you Toby for bringing it to light. There needs to be an official inquiry held, and the relevant government department heads made to explain their total disregard for qualified advice and experience. How absolutely shameful. What you appear to have here is a track designed by a rank amateur who has never been to a single speedway meeting, and never had any interest in speedway either.

[@N4CR]

Yeeah I bet some company made bank doing this who was of course not owned by someone in govt involved in this lol. I love when naive people say the west isn't corrupt.. it's worse than corrupt countries because they hide it better AND you can't get off some BS speeding fine slipping the cops a 50 dollar note.

I miss sitting on that grass hill at Valvoline with my dad, hot dog in hand, ethanol up my nostrils and ears bleeding from the 8-cylinder orchestra.

[@BillSmithBooks]

Wow, outstanding report. On top of all of numerous and preventable problems you outlined, the angle of the barriers going into the infield is a serious injury or fatal accident waiting to happen -- very possible that a driver could hit those concrete barriers head on at speed.

[@reyneleesonmotorsport]

outstanding video. breaks my heart to watch though. what an absolute gongshow.

[@nickmcnellis3937]

Nice to know Australia takes sprint car racing just as serious as we do here in America.

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

I grew up in rosehill in the 90's and i dont know a lot about sprint car racing but even someone like me was able to look at the new speedway and think... gee that doesn't look anything like the old one.. there's something odd about it. Glad you mentioned it. I hope they just bite the bullet and built a new one exactly the way it should have been from the beginning

[@Tom-mk7iq]

Wow crazy stuff. I do like that the seating is close to the track and that the pathways are behind the seating. Once they get the track right, the mud hitting specators wont be a big issue. The solar panels made me laugh.

[@regenmeister9646]

You nailed it Toby ... "entire project has been a World Class Stuff-Up"

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Used to work at the Toll warehouse around the corner from the old speedway in Rosehill. Those roadworks are so annoying and cause such huge delays and they aren't even close to finished yet. TIL they closed down Tomago speedway 20 years ago

[@rader1175]

Only thing I can add is I love being close to the track . Met Canadians at my track Williams Grove Pa. US, that drove down for that reason. In the third turn you can get right up to the fence , above the track , and its the best. Even being pummeled, we wear safety glasses or shields. And drink beer !!!

[@watsisbuttndo829]

That lease agreement is insane and reeks of under-the-table shennanigans.

[@ajfmaughan]

👏👏👏 Great video Toby very will put together and what a disgrace the whole project has been.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Wow, this all makes the Thunderdome seem like a well thought out facility.

[@andrewprentice8857]

Toby, thanks for being such a strong advocate for (in particular) sprint car racing and (more generally) speedway racing in Australia. At this point, with all that money spent, I tend to think the best way to move forward is to try to correct the problems at the existing site. I don't think any government would countenance the complete scrapping of the development so it can move elsewhere. Just calling it how I see it. The whole Sydney thing is eclipsing the fact the Archerfield has now closed (something that was touted for decades before it happened) and no planning seems to have taken place for a new venue. If people are expecting private investment to pick this up, I think they are misguided. Any business case for a dirt speedway is likely to reveal that plenty of other investments will deliver a better return. Like it or not, lobbying of local, state and federal governments is the most likely way any new speedway can come to fruition. The only other option is for a consortium of interests (preferably with strong representation from Speedway Australia) to come together and use their passion for the sport to bring in the necessary funding from a range of investors. Naturally the investors need to be equally passionate for racing and not just looking for a healthy investment return. Sydney's case is rather different, I know. However, it seems the bed has now been made and we all have to sleep in it.

[@DennosManCave]

The site won't move. They just need to fix the issues

[@vaughanoke1059]

The Waldren's were wanting a deal that where the track was built it would be a successful venture, public transport, multiple entry points,, no dust issues etc. The government did not want to listen, so they walked away.

[@codyjarvis]

This blows, but it’s mind blowing that they did anything for yall, our local fair ground track in the USA got torn down and they said they’d build a replacement and when we asked about it after the demo they told us to get bent.

[@lesmawson7298]

This almost sounds like what happened over the last decade with was also supposed to be a world class operation by the name of “ Canadian Motor Speedway “...... at least you got the place built, our project got bound down with so much red tape, the operator basically said piss on it after spending about 100 million dollars... hopefully your track gets all the bugs worked out and everything is peachy!

[@brettjones4733]

Bring back Liverpool speedway 👍👍 spent my childhood there , great memories

[@xaoskuntablast3354]

I can remember when Liverpool Speedway closed, It was not due to lack of races or lack of crowds wanting to watch, it was due to the NSW government having little to no interest in having tracks in Sydney. Oran Park, Amaroo Park, ect ect, In the 70s and 80s Sydney had multiple dirt and road circuit's all closed due to the lack of government support and in some cases government pressure to close ( in the case of Liverpool ). It's sad to say but the NSW government has no interest in supporting racing in their state.

[@petermorris709]

This makes my blood boil with such a wasted opportunity to produce a fantastic venue having gone so terribly wrong. I shouldn't have laughed, but when you mentioned the solar panels a bit of wee came out. What is wrong with these muppets involved with this build, they need a right royal flogging. I'll be even more devastated for the NSW speedway community if I ever see it overgrown with grass and weeds 😠 Awesome presentation Toby

[@steveskrobot9496]

100 Million? Somebody pocketed a large chunk of the funding, because you should get a half decent equipped venue for that chunk of change! There needs to be an independent enquirey for major projects like this.

[@ruperterskin2117]

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

[@matt.ja90]

There are a lot of shortcomings and issues with the track and lease agreements, no doubt. But let's also remember, the government were under no obligation to offer to build a new $100m speedway either, were they? We can complain about that 'they didn't ask this person, didn't listen to that person'. This attitude does not change the scenario that is going on now. Understand the frustrations, but that's the fact. The first thing we should be asking in this instance is who has audited the defects and has the construction contractor completed the build to the accuracy required by the design. If not, then the construction contract will have clauses written to ensure they address the defects. If there are design flaws, then that is a case for the govt to take up with the consultant(s) responsible. These govt contracts are always written in a way where the responsibilities sit with those doing the project delivery to execute to the project scope.

[@marktiltins8845]

Solar panels at a dirt track speedway 🤡😂😂😂😂😂

[@darkcase123]

Mate 100%. My wife and I loved the old Valvoline raceway, we knew some of the drivers, we'd helped out occasionally at the track, we went to every major race, we took our first baby with us, always expected sprint cars to be a big part of our lives. Waiting for the new track was torture, and then when it finally opened we had to park ages away, my 2 year old did not enjoy the long walk, and once we found somewhere to sit at the track we were covered in so much hard clay. It was a nightmare, my second child hasn't even been to a sprint race, from that day we have pivoted to being an F1 family

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Toby, the only speedway I know with some infield lighting is Waikerie. And those are temporary lights. I have run every track in SA and S/W Victoria and no infield lights. Though most tracks have the lights higher and facing down onto the track. The rest I agree with. Thoug 6 hours a show. With a 10pm curfew that is max 3 hours unless they start mid afternoon. Most tracks have a 11pm curfew and many none at all. Warnambool as the prime example.

[@christopherwhull]

I do not know how as an american, who does focus on government project fuckery and dirt track racing did not see this earlier. I am always amazed how governments decide to take over things like minor league baseball parks, race tracks (horses and cars), and industrial parks and end up not providing the basic utility of the item they are implementing or replacing. I have seen industrial parks that semis cannot drive into without hitting every curb in sight. Or industrial parks with 24/7/365 operations next to bedroom communities. We in the US have just about every minor league ballpark replacing something suitable for 8k spending $15 bucks with something that has 4k in the crowd spending 45 bucks. The revenue never comes to the promoter, because the cities choices drives people away. We have horse race tracks built where the local community is close enough to the stables to smell the politics. Government official's are always in a condition where redos are allowed. Corporate officers get one chance at big capital expenditures, and if that fails are replaced. What you dont do in business is not spend 80% doing and redoing the planning with experts. and leaving 20% to construction experts in their field. Just in the drone shots, beyond just a 600 slot parking lot, correct lighting, lots of grandstands, a fence of the wrong type for TV and fans alike, lack of a flagstand and lack of central to the start finish line press box and something really strange about the lack of drying of dirt track, think you might have a civic counsel funded winner. How dare one want RV power poles for pit power? All this design stuff is easy, book a flight to Ohio and check out the sports dirt mecca, owned by an owner with a long history of corporate sponsors and who brought a race called the dream to fruition. Swing by Indianapolis and hit 2 tracks that have redone everything in sight in the past decade. What world class pits are (F1),and what good enough for NASCAR and Indycar. Not to say any of those are suitable for a sport that is always ran out of a back of a hauler. Perhaps the dust problems got the best of them once they settled on a location, and perhaps they convinced themselves the replacement must be under the control of the same people who demolished the old track. So do we think going another 15 miles out of town and building with setbacks from everything but farmland might have been a better solution. Perhaps drop 5 million on a set of long entry roads from at least 2 major highways. Having a paved parking lot for spectators is a collosal waste of money when gravel would have been better (bet we are back to dust and a drag strip), for a venue with less than 30 nights. The pushing all the racing into a superpark seems to be the epic mistake that happened under a government official and nobody could question putting a round peg into a very small square footprint.

[@stylesfamilyracing8537]

[@sooweeq123]

I'm in the United States. This is interesting. Dirt racing or sprint car racing is really popular here. Even in the middle of the countryside, local tracks are amazing. The way we work here in the USA is if we racers don't like something, we just don't race that track. Unfortunately, taxpayers suffer most. Politicians have no expertise or qualifications to make personal decisions for anyone. They only think for themselves because, unfortunately, the general public allows it. What would happen if everyone decided not to pay annual taxes?

Lots of valid complaints. To be fair though, building and outfitting a track during the pandemic, is a tall order. A lot of new facilities open while partially finished. I'm curious to see if the issues are resolvable and what they look in hindsight. The question is, is this a complete boondoggle or just your average mediocre management.

[@fhmconsulting4982]

Toby, you have done a fantastic job on this video, having been to the old Valvoline Speedway a few times I absolutely loved it. A great family atmosphere with fantastic entertainment. This is a sport that is truly family based, when you walk through the Pit area it was more Mum and Dad outfits with a few with pretty good corporate sponsors. The price of admission was good value, the food and drink stands well done and the entertainment non stop !!!! It is so frustrating, so sad to to see the old venue at Clyde shut down but what a great opportunity to build and develop "first class" facilities. You have to wonder if any of these naïve government officials have even bee to an event at the Speedway. I dare not comment on Constance for risk of being arrested lol and that would be for telling the truth. I am devastated by the waste of money, the heartache to all the competitors, and the loss of entertainment to the fans. It is hard to see how this will recover, I wish they had listened to the people who know, it could have been magnificent. You, however, have done a first class presentation, if I am this frustrated as a few times attendee I can only imagine how the promoters, fans and racers are feeling. I really hope for a resolution but I fear it won't be in my lifetime !!!!! Keep the fight going and I hope your enthusiasm and passion can bring about change, rest assured you will have my support as well as many others.

Western Sydney Parklands Trust are one of the biggest sources problems with this whole thing. I'm involved due to work I did for one of the sub contractors working on an aspect of construction and have heard of a lot of the problems. Western Sydney Parklands Trust is often mentioned as the primary source of the problem.

[@DennosManCave]

Insightful video. The govt certainly should have consulted those more expert in what the track would provide. The Light Horse Interchange location is moot though. There was never any reality of that site happening. I'm a motorsports fan, but a location like Lightehorse Interchange was always going to be reserved for commerical operations. As much as SMSP is a great track to drive, for parking and visitor attendance, the experience is terrible. Let's hope the drainage and the track itself gets fixed. Not sure how the parking is going to no fixed We should just be lucky that such facilitates are available close to major metro areas. I mean, Sandown in Melbourne is about to close to be turned into houses.

This the problem world wide, the government officials are so dumb, they think they know everything. It is so' frustrating to work with these dumb and arrogant people. they won't listen to any advice, because of corruption, they are too scared that they will be found out if they involve outside specialists. This goes for EVERYTHING they do. It's absolutely disgusting, the worst thing is if they got the help from outside specialists, the facility would have probably cost half of what they actually paid, and it would have been perfect, because the specialists would have looked and all other tracks and made everything better.

Well constructed video, I'm am not a Speedway fan either, but we all have family, friends and people we know that love it. Speedway fans should have got something better than they had, not worse, the stupidity of building it next to WSID alone tells everyone how out of touch the government was for both Speedway and drag racing, then to build a substandard complex not fit for purpose. Government needs to see this as an international tourism asset and start again in a position Speedway representatives want and a complex to rival the best Speedway track in Australia. Subscribed to see updates. I wonder what they could re-purpose the track layout for, if Speedway were to get what they deserve?
