Lismore Speedway
Lismore Speedway (also known as Castrol Edge Lismore Speedway) is a dirt track racing venue located at Lismore Showground Lismore, New South Wales. It hosts a variety of motor sports and other events throughout the year.
The track is often referred to as "The Home of Champions'.
The Speedway at its current location at Lismore Showground was founded on 22 November 1969 by Dutton Stibbard and Neil Mansell. The Showground is used for non-racing events such as markets and the regional show. It hosted a baseball game in 1972 and a cricket match in 1994. It was severely impacted by Cyclone Debbie which caused extensive flooding across the region, including flooding the Speedway track and buildings. The facility celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018.
The track has previously run both motorcycles and sidecars.
Today it hosts a variety of Speedway racing events. These include Sprintcars, Speedcar, Super Sedans, V8 Dirt Modifieds, Late Models and other open wheel and sedan classes. Other entertainment at the track includes monster trucks.
The track suffered from major flooding during the 2022 Lismore floods resulting in the remainder of the 2021/2022 season being cancelled. New promoters, Mick and Kim Sauer, who took over the track from David Lander one week prior to the 2022 Lismore floods, set about restoring and revamping the Speedway with it reopening for the 2022/2023 season on November 5 2022.
In a first for the region, Lismore Speedway ended the 2022/2023 season with a concert by Country Music Star Adam Brand on Sunday June 11 2023. The meeting, held over the 2023 June Long weekend, saw the running of the NSW SSA Junior title on Saturday June 10 and four 50 lap feature races on Sunday June 11 for Production Sedans, Wingless Sprints, AMCA Nationals and RSA Street Stockers in what was possibly a first in Australia.
Lismore Speedway won the Speedway Australia Award for the Most Improved Speedway in Australia for the 2022/2023 season.
