We’re
excited to announce that our first at-track training session trial for Kids to
Grids will take place over Easter weekend at Nickol Bay Speedway in Karratha,
WA. With the track set to host the SSA Western Australia Junior Sedan Title, it
marks the perfect opportunity to develop the training.
With the launch of the new Kids to Grids website, we have seen a fantastic uptake in the amount of youth and parents utilising the platform.
With the launch of the digital side of our new youth development program Kids to Grids recently, we are now working on plans for the at-track training aspects.
Speedway Australia is excited to launch the brand new website and home of youth Speedway training, Kids to Grids (KTG). This new site will act as a platform for all youth training, at-track coaching and important informational links.
The Speedway Australia Rising Star program has been in existence for over a decade now, supporting a wide range of future stars in their early careers.
Every year, Speedway Australia's Rising Star program sees some of the sport's top youth talent travel to Canberra for a week of high intensity learning. Built with both theory and practical sessions, the program will see 19 athletes enjoy a wide range of topics, all designed to help them transition into high performance competitors of the future.
Speedway Australia congratulates the successful applicants who will be attending the 2018 Rising Star Program in Canberra in April.
Motorsport's aversion to the colour green goes back to the 1920's when Gaston Chevrolet, brother of Chevrolet Motors co-founder Louis Chevrolet was killed in a motor racing accident in a green car. After that, the colour slipped in popularity.
Current Speedway Australia licensed competitors aged between 16 and 23 years will receive advice via email that applications are now open for the 2018 Speedway Australia Rising Star Program.
