MACKAY (QLD)
******************************
MAC'S SPEEDWAY.
Mac's Speedway got its name from the McNicholl family who first scratched the dirt and cut out the track, hence the name Mac's Speedway.
The name stuck for a few years and then it was changed to McKay International Speedway following some big meeting in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
Another name change followed a few years later when it was changed to Speedlink Park, this name didn't sit well with some of some of the long term members.
