Why has this been such a secret?
I'm still weighing up what to do next weekend, for various reasons.
Any more info?

Just forwarded the whole email to you , Slides, it did my head in trying to cut and paste the pdf file to the forum, apparently Geoff Grocott's mob has something to do with it.

OK , a little more info on the Speedway Museum, It's Ash Suttor's baby, here's some words from him

" the museum is a collection of jackets,kevlars ,leathers, bikes and just about everything you can think of in relation to motorcycle speedway.. thought id better put them out on display..ran out of room in my house !!! Welcome any time...but have to work weekdays so i can keep up with my speedway addiction...cheers and hope to see you soon ...Ash"

How many forrests were cleared to make those old board tracks.
Not the Cinders or Shale Speedways that we love but classic footage none the less, brave bastards.

Tried to ring the museum today, the phone number on the flyer is incorrect as is the street name spelling, got this email from Ash with the correct details,

Many thanks for your reply...the proof reader of the flyers must have had too much Dr Jurds Jungle Juice... the address is 2/10 BRADWARDINE rd and my phone number is 0414240164...charges are $10 a person  30 a family 8 for pensioners and 5 for VSRA members..sorry about the stuff-up--cheers...Ash

Thanks Foss.

Apparently the "Grand" opening is actually on this Sunday, as far as I'm concerned, a museum like this can have as many openings as it wants, a bit like my ideal woman.
For what it's worth I'm heading up for the day from Strathfield around 8.00 on Sun morn and if anyone would like to tag along send me a pm.
