21st century heathen 220 Posted July 13, 2011 Keep checking the International forum. There's already a thread in there with the (Aus) summer schedule for Pinjar, WA. I was fortunate enough to take in a meeting there last year and can recommend it. That tiny little track, which I'm sure had Kangaroo poo mixed in, is something to behold, especially when you see 1000cc side cars tearing around it!! http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showforum=9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arnieg 3,638 Posted July 13, 2011 Basically you have to fly from one place to another as the distances are huge. For example Perth to Mildura is further than Ipswich to Daugavpils. Adelaide (where Gilman is) to Mildura is just about driveable at 250 miles (we did it). Keep an eye out for Australian Championship dates which are usually in early January. Gilman usually has the most comprehensive schedule, infact next season's is already up: http://www.gillmanspeedway.com/calendar.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are right about the small track being something to behold though that's for sure. I cant help but imagine what sort of entertainment and racing would be dished up, IF! a truly important meeting, with a full competitive (hungry) field such as the Australian Championships or a round of it was ever staged there. Gillman speedway is (or should be) developing a cult following after producing outstanding meetings year after year, and seemingly getting better, still!!

fullockracingwa 1 Posted July 18, 2011 If your keen to check out Perth and the ultra exciting Pinjar Park can i suggest www.speedwaywa.com.au there you find a 2011/12 summer calander. By far the biggest bike meetings in Perth will be the Rob Woffinden Classic, WA Solo Title and later in Feb the Kennards Hire "King of Pinjar".. Perth, Gillman and Mildura and dont forget the SA Longtrack event around end of Jan. Enjoy your trip. Thanks to the other forum members for the great words regarding Pinjar Park.
