Because so many winning racers have participated here, it’s no surprise that it has been given the nickname “The Home of Champions.” However, that’s not the only reason that makes it worth visiting: it has a unique kidney-shaped track with a tight hairpin bend. It is 380 metres long, with a 1.5-metre concrete wall and safety fence. The track surface is regularly treated with clay resurfacing to make track preparations more efficient and reliable.

The Mothar Mountain Speedway has been around since the early 1960s, so it’s undoubtedly seen its fair share of thrilling races. Back then, motorcycles used to race around it. However, these days the speedway caters to a wide variety of classes, including Street Stocks, National 4’s, Junior Sedans, Super Sedans, Modified Sedans, AMCA, Late Models, and certain kinds of open-wheelers.

Spectators are also well taken care of; the venue houses two licensed canteens that serve food and beverages. There are many good viewpoints located around the track, though there are viewing stands with terraced banking. If you are in the area, check out their calendar of events because dirt track racing is one of the most exciting types of racing popular in Australia.

Mothar Mountain Speedway is the ideal venue to witness this thrilling off-road motorsport first-hand, so be sure to check it out during your visit.
