Two-Wheeled Action Returns To Pioneer Park

The high adrenaline action of the Queensland Solo Championships is returning to Brandon’s Pioneer Park Speedway this weekend.

Friday, November 24 will see 500cc under 21 and 125cc under 16 classes battle it out before 500cc senior and 250cc junior divisions battle it out on Saturday.

Local rider Ky Mitchell will be returning to the speedway after taking out the Australian 125cc Champion in Tamworth last weekend.

Other locals Robert Gottardi and Jacob Samwell will take to the track as well as riders from Townsville, Brisbane, Proserpine and across the state.

The Queensland Solo Championships will also be supported by stock bikes, sidecars and 50cc racers.

With plenty of action on all weekend, Pioneer Park Speedway Owner George Ward is looking forward to a massive crowd of locals coming through to enjoy the spectacle.

“It’s about time it came to north Queensland, it’s been a while, and Pioneer Park’s one of the best tracks in Australia,” he said.

“It puts a massive input into the region.”

Gates open at 4:00pm on Friday and 3:30pm Saturday.
