Welcome to the Australian Speedway Museum and Hall of Fame (est 2000).

Let’s start at the beginning.

The idea of a Museum and Hall of Fame was from a trip to the U S A by Jeff Drew, Ian Drew and Mark Haby who visited the Knoxville Museum and Hall Of Fame. From that visit Mark Ian and Jeff decided something needed to be done.

Once back began the first discussions with 4 others as to forming a Museum and Hall of Fame.

The name above was chosen and the body became an incorporated body.

The Australian Speedway Museum and Hall of Fame is a “not for profit organization” where any money made is put back into the organization to maintain the museum.

It was decided that the building was to be housed at Avalon Raceway (Geelong).

We must thank Corio Park for the generous donation of land where the building now sits.

The building is fully owned by the Australian Speedway Museum and Hall of Fame

Stage 1.

The building has been completed.

Stage 2.

Will commence in the early part of 2008, with the addition to the building to connect with the Raceway Canteen. This will encompass a Foyer and entry and exit doors to the Museum

Stage 3.

 The addition of toilet & shower facilities attached to the building.

Our timeline at present gives us a completion date of  mid 2009.

Other projects like building extensions to make more floor space will be put in place as we move forward in the next 12 to 18 months. This work would be planned for 2010.

We hope this gives you an insight as to what we are doing now and for the future.

Plans will be on display during the coming Speedway season.

At the start of the coming season membership packages will be available, if you are interested please contact our office via Email or phone above.
