Lakeside Raceway

[Roy]

Well, half the battle was won.

Lakeside Raceway has been under threat of closure, but was recently granted a national heritage listing.

So Pine Rivers Shire council has to now maintain the track, but apparenlty is not required to open the track for race meetings????

Yeah, I never really understood all the fuss, since it was heritage listed it needs to be maintained as a racetrack.

I know the v8s wont go there anymore, but there is MUCH more to motor racing than those guys.

Although it's been a while now, I race bikes at Lakeside. Fell off once or twice too...

I havent been to Brisso for a while (lived there for 10 years) I recently signed an Internet petition "Save Lakeside"

Too many houses and not enough tracks I reckon. Good luck with the lobbying in the future

Ciao

Everyone within a 500km region of Brisvegas should attend the next Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts meeting on the 31st May...

thats exactly what happened to the Surfers Paradise Raceway many years ago, the Gold Coast City Council had to maintain the track, but wern't required to open it for events. Eventually they did lease it out to a tigermoth joyflight company and later to Operation Drag a police run Drag meet. Today the track has been completly demolished and housing is being built.

my old man took me to lakeside many times when I was younger, thats where my appreciation for motorsport started, I hope it survives. You'd think with the amount of v8 Supercar teams in SE QLD there would be a read demand for a testing track.
