MANDURAH SUTTONS PADOCK
Due to some locals in Halls Head objecting to the racing around the streets, a purpose built clay track was carved out at Suttons Paddock between the Old Coast Road and the estuary, The track ran through the tidal flats and in and around the trees.
These race days became very popular as the track was right in town at the foot of the Mandurah bridge on the southern side, where the Port Mandurah Canals are now.
The police boys club were involved in the race day activities as a way to raise money for their local club, The collected entrance fees and set up stalls selling cool drinks and food to those who attended.
The result of it was the police boys club were able to raise enough money to build the Nancy Regan Hall, To celebrate the opening of the hall, The West Australian Gymnast team who were preparing for the Empire Games, (now Commonwealth Games) put on an exhibition in the hall.
