MITCHELL SPEEDWAY
The Mitchell Speedway was build out along St George Road on the left just past the industrial area, deemed to be more trouble than it was worth the local athorities shut down the track permanently.
(Editorial Allan Baker)
John Chambers recalls: The Mitchell track was closed down after a local cop took a police car out to the track and tried racing the boys, the cop rolled the Police car, the Ford Falcon was only one week old.
The boys put the Police car on a trailer and took it back to the Police Station where the cop claimed he swerved to miss a kangaroo on a road out of town, being a small country it didn't take long for the truth to come out.
