🚨 EVENT UPDATE 🚨

Unfortunately, due to a lack of nominations, Mareeba Speedway has made the difficult decision to cancel this Saturday night's race meeting.

This decision is never made lightly. Like many smaller regional clubs, we rely on strong competitor nominations and community support to make race meetings viable. Unfortunately, with many drivers currently committed to the Northern Nationals Series, nomination numbers were simply too low for us to proceed with a full race program.

Rather than closing the gates completely, we will be holding a Practice Night instead.

🏁 Practice Commences: 6:00pm
🏁 Driver Entry: $80
🏁 Spectator Entry: FREE
🏁 Canteen & Bar: OPEN

We'd love to see drivers take advantage of the opportunity to get some laps in, test new setups, and prepare for upcoming events.

To everyone who continues to support Mareeba Speedway, thank you. Regional speedway clubs play an important role in keeping grassroots motorsport alive, and we hope to see stronger nomination numbers at future events so we can continue bringing racing to the Tablelands.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing everyone at the track.
