The countdown is on for the commencement of the 2023-24 season on November 4 at Castrol Lismore Speedway.
Under the second season promotion of Mick and Kim Sauer, highlights of the meeting will be the running of the Hernes Security V8 Dirt Modified Lord Mayor’s Cup, with AMCAs, RSA Sedans, Wingless Sprints and Junior Sedans the support categories.
A pre-season practice night will be held on Friday, November 3 in preparation for the start of the new season which, on the evening, also will feature a monster fireworks display.
The promotional team have put the off-season to good use following further upgrades to the venue with a refurbishment of the communication tower and track announcing centre at the start/finish line.
“We are very excited and looking forward to the season ahead, while the long running V8 Dirt Modified Lord Mayor’s Cup is the perfect way to get the season underway. We want to also thank Herne’s Security for coming onboard as sponsor of the event,” Kim Sauer said.
There will be plenty happening in the twenty-four hours before the season commences.
The practice night is open to all sections and is free admission to anyone holding a Speedway Australia licence. Nominations are now being taken via https://forms.gle/oeDjDGKuXuznQCY18
