SPEEDWAY EXPO TAKES A GIANT LEAP FORWARD

The Australian Speedway industry has taken a giant leap forward with the second annual Speedway Australia Expo hailed a huge success.

Thousands of people grazed through four aisles of stalls and displays at the Melbourne Showgrounds Victoria Pavilion on Saturday featuring over 40 exhibitors from around the nation, more than doubling the inaugural expo in 2021 on the Gold Coast.

Parts suppliers, service providers and racing divisional bodies combined to create one of the most significant statements of unity the sport has seen in the modern era, with Speedway Australia General Manager Darren Tindal overwhelmed with the success of the event.

“We were scheduled to open the doors at 10am, but there were literally hundreds of eager attendees waiting outside at 9:30, so we opened the doors and were flooded with guests, and they just didn’t stop coming right into the early afternoon!”

“We’re so thankful to the speedway community for supporting the initiative so strongly, and now we know we have a product that has provided a successful platform to bring the sport together, we will now put together a strategy to take the event to the next level and promote it in the wider motorsport community and media in 2023.”

Details of next year’s Speedway Expo location and date will be announced as soon as possible to ensure maximum lead time in preparation for the event.
