With the current fires spreading in New South Wales around Sydney & Victoria I wonder if the Australian Championships will go ahead. It is a worrying time for everyone who are affected by the terrifying scenes across the country & our thoughts go out to them.

The Australian Speedway authorities are doing something to help the victims.  https://www.australianspeedwaychampionships.com.au/media/ma-and-kurri-kurri-speedway-club-to-support-fire-victims/

I posted that yesterday, but let you off as it was on an obscure global warming topic

very poor meeting at Kurri Kurri tonight, certainly not a good advert for solo speedway in Australia

 

Better to watch Tai Woffinden in a1000cc sidecar at the Pinjar Park Speedway over in Perth, Western Australia

My cousin, who has just emigrated to Perth a coupe of weeks back is live at Pinjar Park

You can watch it live here http://www.speedway-forum.de/index.php?thread/18164-speedway-live-stream-s/&postID=344426#post344426

Yes, he posted a link from 'Make smoking history Pinjar Park' , on FB. Probably the same link. But thanks

Cool, Tai Woofinden as passenger with Trent Headland in the 1000cc sidecars. Good that they don't exclude for tape touching, but instead send the offender back to the 15yard penalty startline ! Provides us with a bit of handicap racing, with Headland / Woffinden off the 15m start going from 4th to second place. Love that !

Great TV quality coverage from Pinjar Park this is worth watching, folks !

The Aussie Championship meeting at Kurri Kurri has been abandoned due to unsafe track conditions !

 

The Jeff Gittus Sidecar Memeorial at Pinjar Park International Speedway in Perth is a beauty to watch on the livestream.  I love the variety of different solo and sidecar classes in this meeting.

No decision yet, as far as i can see about what MA are going to do about re-staging the abandoned Kurri Kurri round 1 today.

 Update:   OOPS! Just seen earlier post by R and R with link to Updates site. Still better two links than none.

The extreme heat conditions here would of had something to do with it, obviously an Aussie summer is always hot but this recent heatwave has been something else.

 

to put it into perspective, in Victoria the Union us construction workers work under has a rule of as soon as it hits 35 degrees, you down tools and go home. We normally get 2-3 per summer, summer has only just started and we have had 6 already. And theres two months of summer left.
