National Capital Motorsports Club presents the 2009 A.C.T speedway sedans titles on Sunday 17 May at the National Capital Speedway, Fairbairn. Divisions competing for their respective titles are:

    Super production- current champion is Chris Sims from sydney

    Series production- current champion is Brett Mitchell from newcastle

    Junior sedans (14-17 yo)- current champion is Rachel neve from sydney

Further info is available online

With all current champions residing outside the A.C.T the local drivers will all be doing their best to bring their respective titles home to Canberra, I myself will be competing in the super production division and i’m hoping for a good result after a season that has been fraught with rollovers, fires and various other mishaps and dnfs.

Any idea of the field sizes – if there are more than half a dozen entries I might have a look. I haven’t noticed much talk on australianspeedway either – are the Sydney boys coming down?

54 cars are nominated for the titles with quite a few sydney cars coming….

micro sprints have been added to the program

10 am start…..going through till approx 3 pm….possibly longer as this meeting is a title meeting and the fields in all classes should be a lot larger than usual

so what time is it on? morning or afternoon or nighttime racing? might come and see what sort of show you guys put on

I was thinking a hybrid of a monster truck and a postie bike would be good…

haha…i thought you were talking about electric/petrol hybrids………super prod is basically a hybrid type class with any production style car and engine combo allowed (with a few restrictions of course)….we have things running around like datto 1200’s with supercharged v6’s and galants with supercharged magna motors…..my own early model commodore powered by a late model v6 fitted with a toyota supercharger as well as lots of later model cars with more traditional drivelines….

no it is not……the fairbairn park speedway has not been in operation for many years……National capital speedway is located in the forest behind fairbairn park and is not part of the complex it shares an access road with the paintball field and air disaster memorial (this is a new route to the air disaster) the old speedway was closed due to noise concerns and the “new” speedway has been in operation since 1986.
Yes the old speedway is quite decrepit and it is a shame to see it sitting there wasting away…….much the same as the tralee speedway

ahh now i know where you are talking about i have been out there before a fair while back there was no paintball field there then though i thought that speedway also closed down a long time ago?

yes the old road to the memorial is now permanently locked…the road signage has been moved…..if heading to qbyn it is the next turn on the left…..only a few hundred metres from the original access road

….it shares an access road with the paintball field and air disaster memorial (this is a new route to the air disaster)…

Really? I have been wondering for sometime why the road up the the memorial always seemed to be locked.

super/open sedans have now been added to the program…….a large field of these v8 powered monsters roaring around NATIONAL CAPITAL SPEEDWAY will be quite a spectacle…

is this the speedway at fairbairn park? it looks pretty decrepit to me from what can be seen from the road surely nobody races onit?

there will be several support divisions racing on the day……….these will be announced shortly

Its a great day out for the family
