Did you sit trackside as a kid, eyes wide, clay spraying, bucket of chips in hand, with that high-octane roar in your ears and the smell of hot rubber in your nostrils? Did you go to bed that night, lulled by the memory of the thrum in your chest, the pop and crackle of the wind-down, and dream of being a sprintcar driver?

It's the experience of many southwest kids, growing up so close to Premier Speedway, Warrnambool, which over the past 50+ years has influenced our city, fuelled our economy, and helped take local culture across the globe.

It's part of our story, and we're celebrating it, with a special night detailing the highs and the lows, the funny moments, the tales passed down, the anecdotes from behind the scenes - all the stories from over the years, led by our panellists Geoff Rounds, Rik Stewart, Corey McCullagh, and local history buff Samuel Ridley.

This is an evening for anyone with a love of local history and storytelling.

Proudly supported by @flying_horse_warrnambool and @fsrequip, this event will take place Wednesday 8th July. Bar will be available, private memorabilia will be on display, and supper is included.

Tickets are available now via our website.
