About Nickol Bay Speedway

Nickol Bay Speedway at Karratha, on the Burrup Peninsula, is the Pilbara's home of speedway — a community-run spectator dirt-oval venue that gives this remote northwest region a quality motorsport facility to call its own. You come to watch rather than drive: race nights feature competitive sedan classes and have hosted state-level events such as the WA Junior Sedan Title, alongside crowd-pleasing burnout action. Because of the Pilbara climate, the speedway runs through the cooler months, broadly April to September. Affordable entry and a friendly local crowd make it an easy family night out for anyone in the Karratha region.
