LISMORE
SPEEDWAY SETS THE BENCHMARK
LISMORE Speedway
promoter David Lander has pulled off a
major coup by securing three Australian
championships to be run at the track
next season.
Coming to town will be the 2011
Australian V8 Dirt Modified
Championship, and the national titles
for Speedcars (Midgetcars) and Modified
Production Sedans.
It is the first time in the 40-year
history of the Lismore Showground as a
speedway venue that a promoter has
brought three Australian championships
to the track in the same season.
“This represents a great opportunity
for Lismore Speedway and for the city of
Lismore,” Lander said.
“We will attract fans from throughout
Australia for these events which have a
strong following in Australian speedway.
“I believe it will be good for the
local tourist industry and will
certainly bring dollars into the
town.”
The Australian Speedcar Championship is
one of the oldest events in Australian
speedway with a history tracing back to
the 1930s.
The speedcar title not only attracts
Australia’s best drivers but also top
competitors from New Zealand and the
United States.
In fact the current Australian Speedcar
Champion is second generation American
driver, Kevin Swindell.
This event alone will bring
international visitors to Lismore.
Lander is working on his calendar for
next summer to confirm race dates for
the championships.
He envisages the Australian V8 Dirt
Modified Championship will be decided
over two nights, Friday, January 21, and
Saturday, January 22, 2011.
The national Speedcar title will be
slotted in on Friday, February 18, and
Saturday, February 19.
Lander plans to host the Australian V8
Modified Production Sedan Championship
in April, 2011 over the Easter weekend.
