1996 - QUAIRADING SPEEDWAY RAINOUT
Brian Moyle recalls: Racing during winter does have its advantages, and it also has its disadvantages, One weekend Me Jason and Daniel headed of to Quairading on a Friday night for a Saturday meeting, stayed at the pub, awoke in the morning to the news that the rain was not going to let up and the meeting had been called off, Not a problem, we headed of back to Perth, stayed overnight and did the Junior Classic at Ellenbrook on the Sunday, back in these days there so many club tracks racing on any weekend, getting a run wasn't a problem, and competitor numbers where, well lets say plenty.
