Western Speedway Hamilton “Licenced to Thrill”
|
The Hamilton Speedway Drivers Club was formed on September 12th, 1969, and became incorporated on July 24th, 1984, as the Hamilton Speedway Drivers Inc.
The club has owned and operated Western Speedway – Hamilton, since 1972 and the aim of the club is to provide motorsport entertainment and excitement, as well as promoting the sport of speedway racing.
The Club Is a “not for profit” Association, and is controlled by a Committee of Management, who are elected each year.
Western Speedway, is run completely by volunteers, under the direction of the Committee of the HSDI, and hosts between 8 – 12 speedway meetings each year, attracting drivers from all around Australia.
The racing season usually commences around early November, and runs through until late April or May.
The Club is affiliated with ASCF/SSA, VSCF and VSC, while the Public Liability is provided by the NASR Scheme through Marsh Pty Ltd. The speedway is set on 17 acres of land, and has operated since 1972, first as a daytime circuit, and then in 1977, lighting was purchased and most meetings are now conducted in the evenings.
Car parking is available, but it is advisable to bring your own chairs.
Racing is conducted under the ASCF, VSC and NASR Regulations.
Although the club has quite a few members who are also competitors, the majority are people who are involved as either pitcrew, officials or volunteers.
The race meetings attract between 60 – 120 competitors each meeting, with the HSDI having hosted many Victorian Championships and Blue Ribbon events including the Australian Ladies Saloon Championship in 1976, the Australian Modified Production Championship in 1993 and the Australian Formula 500 Championship in 1996.

Hamilton Racing Club
|
|
Whether it's enjoying a day at the races or a function in one of the
three function facilities, the Hamilton Racing Club (HRC) will make sure you have an enjoyable and memorable experience
.
Since 1864, HRC, along with the Warrnambool Racing Club, has been the back bone of jumping racing in the south-west of Victoria. Hamilton became the first racing club in Australia to conduct six jumping races on the one program in August 2000. The 'jumpsfest' has continued ever since and is run in August each year.
The Hamilton Cup runs in April of each year. When mentioning the Hamilton Cup, the grand old stager, Puramaka, comes to mind. He won four cups in between 1977 and 1980, a feat that could stand forever.
