The last time i was there early 2000's the lady in front of us copped a nasty black eye from a big chunk of flying clay off the track , never forget it !
Don't know why some super rich ex drivers don't invest in it and give something back to the sport that served them so well during the halcyon years. Its bullshit that fine complex is just sitting there rotting away. It does not look that far gone to me and would take less effort to restore than build a new one i would suggest. Dam shame
Hey Paris, back a couple of years ago there was a Facebook page and a bloke that was starting to clean up the speedway to have burnouts/ re open there once again. Then the updates stopped and the page was deleted. Do you know anything about this?
Great vid, thanks. Reliving my best childhood memories. I was at Napa in the city last night!
I miss it. I was a junior when it closed. Prime location for a modern track.
Who are you and what Junior Sedan did you drive?
@@Paris_Charles Jesse Arthur, 5 and 10, but you should know that haha

Sometimes unfortunate accidents happen when you least expect 😢
@@Paris_Charles FYI , all members of the group I was in were wearing safety glasses 😁
my dad holds the formula 500 20 lap record there. he got it on my 3rd birthday
That's awesome, who is your dad and when was the record set?
@@Paris_Charles Steve James, it was on the 20/2/2010

Thats a shame had good memories in the 80s &90s as a kid growing up now looks like beyond thunderdome really sad
It would make an amazing movie set for a mad Max/ thunderdome type movie

Would love to see someone do something to carry Speedway in Adelaide forward
That track needs to be raced on so bad buy the looks of things wat a cool lookn track
it was a great place to visit, i can only hope somebody with passion buys the venues and rebuilds it better than it ever was.

Very sad

Hi Sam, I did ask for permission.

hi yes, sadly, it did not get off the ground, too many council regulations blocked the plans
@ typical councils
Man they should repurpose it to an RC Car place with multiple tracks or motor cross or something.
Would love to see something done with the venue
