About Southern 500 Speedway

Southern 500 Speedway is a dirt-oval speedway at Heathmere on the Princes Highway, just outside Portland in Victoria's south-west. It is a spectator race venue — you come along on a race night, take a seat trackside and watch the cars race under lights, rather than driving yourself. The program spans a genuine variety of classes, including Formula 500s, Super Sedans and sprintcars, so most meetings serve up several divisions of close country racing. With family-friendly admission — adults $25, pensioners $20, youth (6–16) $10, under-6s free and a family pass at $60 — plus on-site food and a warm country atmosphere, it has built a loyal following across the Portland region.
