West Coast Speedway News facebook feature
Blink Bonnie Speedway was built in 1928 by the Burra Sporting Car Club and opened in March of that year, it is believed that only about 6 race meetings were ever held at the track, racing only happened during summer when the Blink Bonnie lagoon dried up leaving the saucer ideal for a speedway.
The speedway that was situated on private property along Leighton Road at Blink Bonnie Lagoon had a reputation for high speeds and fierce racing.
Some of the competitors of the day included Barney Rodgers, M Hall, J Williams, V Treloar and A Edgecombe.
