1960's - BUSSELTON HOT ROD TRACK.
The Busselton Hot Rod Club formed in the late sixtee's, a simple track was cut into a paddock on Ted Lilly's farm opposite the causeway service station on the entry to Busselton, the track only ever held sedan car racing mainly Holden's and early Brittish cars.
Busselton only ran for about four years. Ted Lilly passed away and the track shut, most of the members then shifted to the Nannup club who in turn had strong ties to the Bunbury Car Club at Blicks Raceway
As time passed and Nannup closed some of the original Busselton members got involved in the Augusta Margaret River Club and built a new Speedway at Margaret River.
Some of the Busselton Hot Rod Club Drivers were Brian Green in a FJ Holden, Peter Grocock in his Vauxhall sedan and a Morris Isis drivern by Bob Pitts.
