The complete schedule for Season 2016/2017 at Murray Machining & Sheds Speedway has been unveiled and it reveals a huge variety of competition for a wide range of classes.

Whilst there is plenty of attention focused on the inaugural Ultimate Sprintcar Championship (USC) South Australia and the historic three rounds of World Series Sprintcars the spotlight is also rightfully shining on (in no particular order) Speedcars, Super Sedans, Formula 500’s, 360ci Sprintcars, AMCA Nationals, Junior Sedans, Modified Sedans, V8 Dirt Modifieds, Street Stocks, Wingless Sprints, Late Models, Modlites, V6 Sprints, Legend Cars, Demolition Derbies and Burnouts.

“This season is a fantastic showcase of Australian Speedway,” says MMS Speedway Track Manager Tim McAvaney, “there’s plenty of variety, plenty of blue-ribbon events and plenty of track championship battles at each of our events. There really is something for members, fans and racers alike.”

Each class has its crowning jewel event during the season.

Australian Championships are scheduled for Formula 500’s (Easter weekend April 14/15) and Modified Sedans (April 28/29) with cracking fields and many local favourites expected for the respective weekends.

Speedcars will celebrate the memory of one of the sport’s most promising young talents with the Tim Crouch Memorial and the prestigious Speedcar Super Series will be typically spectacular.

360ci Sprintcars will be hectic with the return once more of the Mainline Dynalog Dynamometers All Stars Series.

Some 20 nights of competition across the range of disciplines will be held at Murray Machining & Sheds Speedway including State Titles for V8 Dirt Modifieds, Super Sedans, Speedcars, Modified Sedans (and Ultimate Sprintcars) plus Formula 500 King of the Bridge and 65 Roses races, the MJS Street Stock Series and the V6 Sprints Des James Memorial to name a few.

Late Model Sedans will also be involved in some unique new initiatives.

There’s a refreshing range of fan-friendly concepts including “Ultimate Pink Night” (where women of all ages are admitted free and fundraising is in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation) “Ultimate Kids Night”, “Ultimate Footy Fan Night”, “The Big Skid” Burnout night and much more.

The memories of two late South Australian legends will once again be honoured with the “Bill Wigzell Battle of the Bridge” and the “Ross Wright Memorial” for USC Sprintcars.

Saturday, January 7 is a date to mark down with some heavy hitter USA Ultimate Sprintcar drivers take on the SA and interstate heroes whilst November 12, December 27 and February 4 will delight World Series Sprintcars followers with a landmark three appearances.

Grand Opening Night of the season will be held on Sunday, October 2 with the 360ci Sprintcar Shootout and a PRACTICE for Ultimate Sprintcars where the big guns of USC SA use the event as a shakedown for the following weekend’s first USC round on October 8.

Grand Final Night will be Saturday, April 29 with the final night of the 2017 Australian Modified Sedan Championship.
