Season opener this weekend
THE clay is set to fly once again at Allansford’s Premier Speedway with the opening round of the 2025/26 race season set for tomorrow, Saturday, November 1.
Volunteers have been working hard behind the scene in readiness for the opening and according to board president Rikki Stewart, the season is shaping up to be another great one.
“The track looks great and so does the surrounds thanks to the work of a team of volunteers,” Rikki said.
And while the club is still on the hunt for a new general manager, Rikki said it would be “business as usual” in the meantime.
“We won’t be the first club to run without a general manager; there are other tracks which are run by a board or committee,” he said.
“We’re excited about this season and we’re all working hard to make 2025/26 a great year for all, both on and off the race track.”
Sprintcars and wingless sprints will take to the clay from 5.15pm, with gates open from 4pm.
