1951 - CESSNOCK JUBILEE CIRCUIT OPENING MEETING 11th March 1951The Cessnock Motor Cycle Club opened their race circuit in 1951. That year marked 50 years since Australia's Federation and was our Jubilee Year.
This dirt circuit was 1200 yards in length and described as being the shape of a guitar base board. The track was described as being dust free and used copious amounts of waste oil to prevent the dust.
Later sprinklers were used for the same reason, some reports indicate that at times they did have some dust issues.
