About Mareeba Speedway
Mareeba Speedway, run by the Mareeba Motor Racing Club Inc., is a dirt-track speedway at Kerribee Park on the Atherton Tablelands, drawing families and motorsport fans from across Far North Queensland for night racing under lights. It is a spectator venue rather than a drive-it-yourself experience — you come to watch competitors race door-to-door on the clay oval, not to drive yourself, though the club also welcomes new drivers and members who want to compete. Race meetings feature a mix of sedan classes and sprintcars, with the headline King of Kerribee sprintcar event and themed nights among the regular highlights. The compact circuit keeps spectators close to the action all night, making it an accessible, affordable and genuinely fun night out in the tropics.
