About Speedway Wangaratta
Speedway Wangaratta is the city's dirt-track racing venue, set off Shanley Street in Victoria's north-east. It is a spectator venue — a place to come and watch the racing under lights rather than to drive yourself — and it has built a loyal local following across the region. The dirt oval hosts a broad mix of speedway classes through the season, from full-noise Sprintcars and Production Sedans down to junior divisions, and the venue has a long history as a hub for north-east Victorian speedway. With generous spectator areas and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, it makes for a good-value night out, and the city has hosted national-level title meetings that draw crowds and competitors from well beyond the local area.
