The third annual Junior Development Day will be conducted at Murray Machining & Sheds Murray Bridge Speedway on Sunday 6th September from 9am and all Junior Drivers are invited to attend – with or without their racecar.

The day will begin with a forum led by Track Manager Tim McAvaney and Chief Steward Kym Schrapel, outlining the season, expectations and race rules based on the Speedway Australia Junior Development Program. There will also be an opportunity to explain the new Worksafe regulations and the changes that will be evident this season.

Darren Disbury will also present a marketing and presentation session which is always informative, interesting and entertaining. As part of this a video camera will be on hand where some of the new skills can be tested!

The class room sessions will be followed by on track activity, where drivers will have an opportunity to practice a range of skills and procedures under direction from Chief Steward Kym Schrapel via the one-way radio.

“All drivers are encouraged to attend” said McAvaney.

“While we cannot make it compulsory, drivers who do not attend may be at a disadvantage during the season, due to not being up to date with the requirements to race at our venue.”

For drivers who do not have their cars ready for on-track activity, they are still encouraged to attend the day with their parents/guardian.

All cars will need to be race-ready, including registration and Day-lighting prior to hitting the track. Day lighting will be available on the day from 9am for Junior Sedans.

Open division day-lighting and practice will also be available later in the day for senior drivers.
