Western Sydney International Dragway Ltd has adopted the lease of the neighbouring Eastern Creek Speedway track, and is actively in conversations with multiple parties to undertake the management of the venue.

The announcement comes as welcomed news for the New South Wales speedway community, who were facing an uncertain future for the sport, despite a rich and decorated history.

Sydney Dragway Chairman, Tony Beuk was excited about the future of the two forms of motorsport working together to create a bright co-operative future, with the opportunity to share resources between two disciplines of motorsport that serve a similar demographic in both competitors and fans.

“Sydney Dragway is very keen to partner with the speedway community to guarantee a great future, and we are currently having conversations with a few different interested parties who are very keen to see that the sport not only survives but thrives into the future.”

“The Eastern Creek Speedway is a state-of-the-art facility, with amazing potential, and we believe the Sydney Dragway personnel have the event management, ticketing and logistics experience to go hand in hand with a suitable party that understands the unique requirements of running speedway events. The focus needs to be on creating a great entertainment experience for the fans in addition to providing well executed and efficient events for the teams and competitors.”

“As with all business ventures, sustainability is the key, and Sydney Dragway will do everything to help the successful party to achieve an economically sound arrangement. We have built a great relationship with Sydney Parklands and are keen to bring the successful operators into that fold to ensure a great outcome for everyone.”
