Located at the State Motorcycle Sports Complex in Broadford VIC 3658, Broadford Speedway is a thrilling racing track that attracts enthusiasts of all ages. The venue is known for hosting exhilarating Speedway Sidecar Racing events that leave spectators on the edge of their seats.
The Broadford Speedway was established 25 years ago by a group of passionate individuals who wanted to promote and showcase the art of Speedway Sidecar Racing. Over the years, the club has grown and thrived, becoming a staple in the Australian racing community.
Former President, Mr. Jon Lowe, shares his thoughts on the club's journey and its impact on both riders and fans. He highlights the dedication and enthusiasm of everyone involved in keeping the sport alive and flourishing. The club's mission has always been to advance the art of Motorcycle Speedway Racing, not only in Australia but also overseas.
The Speedway Sidecar Riders Association of Victoria (SSRAV) was formed to address the needs and concerns of sidecar riders. During the early fifties, riders were faced with challenges in terms of prize money and fair treatment from promoters. The SSRAV was a response to these issues, advocating for fair compensation and improved conditions for riders.
Broadford Speedway has a rich history, having overcome various obstacles to become the success it is today. In the past, riders had to rely on personal negotiations with promoters for additional payments outside the point system. However, the sport has evolved, and efforts have been made to ensure a more organised and professional approach to Speedway Racing.
The club is well-supported by the local community and enthusiasts alike. Memberships are available for those interested in getting involved and experiencing the adrenaline-inducing sport firsthand. With various events throughout the year, spectators can witness the excitement of Speedway Sidecar Racing up close.
Broadford Speedway welcomes visitors to view photos and stay up to date with the latest news on their social media accounts and club directories. The club's Facebook page provides a centralised platform for news, updates, and interaction with fellow racing enthusiasts.
In the words of Mr. Jon Lowe, “Speedway the Greatest Motorcycle Spectacle Imaginable. ” The passion and dedication of the riders, officials, and supporters of Broadford Speedway ensure that the thrill and magic of Speedway Sidecar Racing will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
