About Borderline Speedway

Borderline Speedway is a club-run dirt-oval circuit located on the Princes Highway, 8 km east of Mount Gambier in South Australia's Limestone Coast region — conveniently halfway between Melbourne and Adelaide. The 372-metre dirt oval sits among old gum trees with natural grass banking, giving it a reputation as one of the most scenic and picturesque speedway venues in the country. Turn four grandstands offer unrestricted viewing of the action, and the venue's enthusiastic volunteer crew keeps events running smoothly and with a genuine community atmosphere. Borderline hosts a full calendar of categories including sprint cars, super sedans, wingless sprints, streetstocks, production sedans, dirt karts and late models throughout the summer season, and is the proud home of the Kings Challenge — one of the Limestone Coast's headline sprint car events. Food trucks and lively race-night atmosphere make it a great family outing for speedway fans of all ages.
