Great photo, my dad racedTQ19 (won’t go )and l have just had an 8 mm movie of him racing there that he had filmed by our neighbour restored and put on usb to save for the future. It also has coverage of speedway bikes and coverage of the spectators. It’s a great and very rare piece of West Coast history that had to go to Australia to be repaired to save .Do you know what the name of the driver of the car in your photo is as I remember seeing it many years back somewhere. Greymouth has a long history in speedway racing and today has some brilliant up and coming young drivers that are doing the region proud and is definitely in great shape for the future of this exciting sport . Thanks for putting this on your fabulous website ??

Mel Ordd ? from Blackball raced there. He built a kids size TQ that he gave to us. It was called…The Hot Canary…staying with the theme.
My dad, Bill Munn, put a Villiers stationary engine in it. Us kids drove it around his Pitt St workshop. I’m sure Howard Topp would remember those days.

I remember Pluto and Davey Crockett as cars there. Not sure why Disney characters.

I did a book called Back in the day with a story on Wingham Park and Kumara Speedway.
