1988 - WAROONA SPEEDWAY CLOSES

It had its final meeting in 1988 when it hosted the South West Games speedway event for the city of Mandurah, a very successful event. Unfortunately the club folded as the sport became over regulated and the costs skyrocketed for competitors. The ever increasing cost of insurance for small clubs made it impossible to continue. We still have people competing who originally called Waroona their home.
