"Is there a speedway track in the world that Charles McKay hasn't been to? Glad he's decided to share the pictures with those of us who can only dream of visting so many weird and wonderful places. Thanks Charles!"

"It sadly looks like Gosford Speedway might be closing down soon through that old bug bear.....money. The track in located in the Gosford Showground and inside the Gosford Greyhound track (unlike the UK where there are more than a few speedway tracks inside dog tracks, this is the only one of its kind in Oz I believe). But it costs the promoter about $1400 just to hire the venue for a meeting and unless its a national or NSW state title meeting, the gate takings don't nearly compensate just the hire fee let alone prize money, appearance fee's, travel money etc because they struggle to get even 1,000 spectators to a regular meeting. So as of August 2011, its not known if this track will operate in 2011/12."
