Is anything going be done about the recent lack of organisation and poor condition of this speedway or is it just a coverup to close speedway in the south. I am sure as a money focused group there would be more money in selling instead of retaining this problem investment. I personally think it has great potential if run well. Needs serious money put into it, will this happen?

Will be a shame if it don't.........cause people are gonna complain a whole lot more when they have further to travel from down South. Sounds to me like they need some people from down South, to volunteer and help out ! The track prep guys from the North West can't be expected to do 2 tracks, look at this weekend they would have hardly seen their families all weekend.

North west coaster purchased the track, what do they expect.

Its a bit rich for a profit making organisation to flog volunteers to make THEM money.

I understand that there is a considerable amount of usable clay available to the track but the owners won't pay for the trucks to deliver it.

Look for a subdivision for new residential blocks at Sorell Creek in the next couple of years.

Hi fellow speedway followers well as a majority said about the track in ???...Yes it needs a new surface for sure & i'm quite sure that the powers to be will for sure ...If they want a round of World Series in Hobart they have no choice but to get the track up to specs for the drivers as well as the paying public...People are sick of the Grader going around...Trust me as i've heard it from the public!!!!

Hi & not only Street Stocks are affected but the poor up & coming drivers' in juniors not to mention 500 as well.....So the ? has to be asked are the powers that be want the track in Southern Tassie to be a success or is it as a the rumour has had it make a Quick buck & shut it down........I do feel that they will keep it going for sure as a speedway venue.....As far as not wanting to spend the money on resurfacing the track that is crazy...Only time will tell.......

I tried Ally but no one wanted to listen!

As for needing resurfacing, i have told you all before it really doesnt need resurfacing! the Grand National proved just how much clay there is on the track as the ruts were a good 300-400 mm deep in places. thats plenty of clay if its prepared properly.
