About Blue Ribbon Raceway
Blue Ribbon Raceway at Kalkee, just north of Horsham, is the home of speedway in Victoria's Wimmera region and is run by the Horsham Motor Sports Club. It is a spectator venue — you come to watch dirt-track racing under lights, not to drive — built around a 520-metre clay and sandstone oval that suits everything from full-noise Sprintcars to grassroots sedan classes. The club has been racing here since its first meeting in 1996, and a season of feature events draws competitors and crowds from across the region for nights that often run late. It is a genuine, well-organised slice of country speedway, and a relaxed, good-value night out for families making the trip in from Horsham and the surrounding towns.
