1950's - STRATHFIELD AIRFIELD CIRCUIT
After the end of World War 2, The Queensland Motor Sporting Club established drag racing on the disused sealed airstrip, Circuit racing was later organised, running up and down the runway.
In 1953 the Southern loop was introduced to make the circuit 1.4 miles in length, the loop was initially unsealed. but sealed two years later.
The circuit closed in 1960 as the new Lakeside venue was about to open.
