I rise to speak about the Geraldton City Speedway. The Geraldton City Speedway was established in 1964 by a group of Geraldton revheads, originally racing on a block of land they leased north of the Geraldton airport. The speedway stayed there for two years until the property owner leased it out for cropping. All the members, then, got together and purchased the eight-hectare block at Moonyoonooka, where the speedway remains. Led by President Mike Doble, the speedway has grown significantly over the last few years, attracting more spectators, members and sponsors—so much so that this year I am a proud sponsor of the junior sedan class, this season.
