SURVEY

Thank you for agreeing to take part in this survey, which consists of 17 questions, most of which are multiple choice. The survey is designed primarily for competitors, with responses to be analysed at the National Speedway Forum in June. Those taking active part in a particular division (e.g. pit crew or officials) are also welcome to complete the survey, but must have a current Speedway Australia licence.

Before you start: This survey is aimed to obtain feedback on both Speedway Australia and the governing body who organise your division e.g. the Sprintcar Control Council, Speedway Sedans Australia, Racing Sedans Australia etc.

For this reason, the survey cannot be completely anonymous, as it is important to verify your relationship to the division.

We can assure you that survey responses will not be linked directly to your name, but if this is an issue, please do not complete the survey. We also ask for your phone number in the event that you win one of the prizes up for grabs!

Section One: Speedway Australia

These questions are related to Speedway Australia, the overall national regulatory body for the sport - responsible for the issuing of licences to competitors, crews, officials and the media.
