speedway to the website, so thanks Chris, I think you've
started something,to hear it click here.

About this web site: read more:
While this website is centred on the Melbourne Speedbowl, It's also about the competitors and spectators who frequented the Speedbowl, I think it would be a shame to not include
the interesting photos and information that many people have taken the trouble to send in, to me it's added a whole new dimension to the website that originally I'd never considered, as a lot of these competitors raced at many other venues during this period.
