Like everyone else in Adelaide, Friday night was Speedway Night. The kids were little, and every Friday night we went along to watch, what was the best show ever. My son went on to ride Solos, and my late husband, sidecars interstate. Thanks so much for the memories, they are all good ones, and you have done a wonderful job on this site. |

Yep  Many a Friday night was spent with a smile on my dial as I watched "The Champions" do battle on the dusty bowl of Rowley Park. Some of the best food available around Adelaide at the time and a guaranteed night of fun for everyone Miss it dearly, Speedway Park was not the same  |

A great website .. but I remember earlier years around 1954. I was still at school and would catch the bus up the Port Road and then walk along Coglin Street and the traffic was bumper to bumper.
One night "Joe Blow" towing his speedcar pulled up and offered me a lift. I was so excited I don't think my feet touched the ground all night.
We would stand up against the safety fence at the south eastern end and get showered in mud. But I can't believe we used to slip out between the rails of the fence out onto the track while the race was still running to snatch the goggles the riders and drivers would flick off when they became covered in mud. We'd wait till they went passed and then run out and back before they came around again!
They were the days before "health & safety" made life boring. The hot dogs there were to die for and I think I had my first Chicko Roll at Rowley Park. Later in life I got the chance to drive a hot rod in a celebrity Demolition Derby a couple of times and then went there with an ambulance for St.John. What a hoot being out in the centre
I've been to Murray Bridge ... but nothing compares with Rowley Park. Does anyone remember that song they used to play while the water truck went around ? It went .."woop" in the middle and the whole crowd would go "woop" when it came up. |

Fantastic memories of Rowley Park Speedway every Friday night as a kid. Standing up against the fence with a beer carton over my head with the eyes cut out getting covered in dust watching my favorites Johnny Boulger and Billy Wigzell. So many memories and so many champions. Rowley Park is sadly missed but it will never be forgotten, best times of my childhood. |

I was thrilled to stumble across this site. I hardly missed a meeting between 1968 and 1977, and this site brings back so many wonderful memories for me.
One year my mother (a karter) raced in the Powder Puff Derby finishing 3rd.
Thank you to everyone inolved with putting this site together. |

Great site. My father raced in a stock car there and as a child I went along and I havent heard the music they played at the beginning of the meeting from then until now. It sent a shiver through me. Good memories. Well done. |

its great the see my Late grandfather (Col Hennig) is still remembered
his love for cars & racing has been passed down from his two sons, my uncle (Steve Hennig, also known for his racing) & my father (Mark Hennig) who isn't well known for the racing he had done. then to my brother (Kenny Hennig) who also has a love for cars & drifts regularly at Mallala. i as the only female Hennig of the past 3 generations i too love racing.
just keep up the work & remember all those who raced at Rowley Park Speedway.

Great work. About twenty years ago I read a biography of an Australian allround sportsmen - sprintcar driver, professionsl woodchopper who was involved in a bad speedway accident - but I have forgotten his name and the name of the book. Does this ring a bell with anyone. Kind Regards |
