Yeah Foss, that's Horse on the far right, looks like Niel Street far left and maybe Steve Rienke behind Bill Landels.
Don't think it's Liverpool.

SA's old tracks

Wayville showgrounds, originally the 'Speedway royale started inthe 1920, still here today as our showgrounds and every now and then a promoter gets permit for an event. we had the sidecar gold cup a few years back.  But being in the city centre the noise police put too many conditions on it for it to be run and the cost is prohibitive ( i heard $10K hire fee)


Rowley PArk  - when i was a kid saturday nights it was the place to be cars and bike speedway

Freaky Rowley Park was Friday nights, the best show in town always! Go to www.rowleypark.com for some great pics and stories.
Renmark ( Riverland) and Murray Bridge ( Riverview) alternated Saturday nights, (both still going but almost no bikes any more), plus we also rode Whyalla and Mt. Gambier occasionally on Saturday nights.
Remember Murray Bridge will have the World Speedway Sidecar titles on November 12 this year, be there! Locals Headland / Waters keen to win a 2nd World title, Rocket Waters has recovered from his NZ injuries and is back on the bike with Mick, - plus Mark Mitchell can still go OK for an old bloke! Go the Croweaters!
