TOMORROW (Saturday) will see the official launch of the 2024/25 Speedway season.
Premier Speedway will host its official launch at the Civic Green from 10am until 12.30pm tomorrow.
Motoring enthusiasts of all ages are expected to flock to the Green for their chance to get up close to the competition race cars and enjoy watching some great racing from last season on the big screen.
A free sausage sizzle, along with free icy poles for the kids, will be on offer during the morning.
And children 12 years and under are reminded to get their colouring entries in the lucky draw for the chance to win a bike or one of two scooters.
The Premier Speedway marquee will be giving away free children’s tickets to the November 2 race meeting (which will include Sprintcars and Wingless Sprints) along with 2024/25 season calendars.
And racegoers are also invited to the Allansford track on Saturday afternoon to catch a pre-season glimpse into some on-track action.
