About Illabo Motorsports Park
Illabo Motorsports Park — operated by Gasworks Motorsport Inc — is a licensed 390-metre dirt oval speedway set on the Illabo Showground in the NSW Riverina, roughly 10 minutes north of Junee. The circuit is known as the Sheather Circuit and is the home of "the Heart of Vintage Speedway" in regional NSW. Gasworks typically runs four combined events per year (March–October), putting open-wheel vintage speedway vehicles and speedway karts on the same program, with khanacross events and motorcycle ride days filling the calendar. Events operate under AASA permit and are licensed through NSW Sport & Recreation, giving the club a solid regulatory foundation. The rural setting, enthusiastic crowds and mix of nostalgic machinery make race days genuinely distinctive.
