
General Club Meetings - Meetings are held the first Tuesday of every
month (unless otherwise notified) at 7pm at The British Hotel,
Deloraine. All members may attend any General or Special Meeting

something if you are not prepared to make an effort.

Practice days – we usually hold two practice days a year (depending

opportunity to have a run in your car if you wish. It is run under full
Speedway Australia Rules and Regulations and any person driving
must be licenced (day licences are available for these days only) and
in full race gear. More information is given when these days occur.

Racing – last season the Club had 20 race meetings on the calendar.
We race at all tracks – Carrick, Hobart and Latrobe.

Every season we hold:
 A series point score over a named number of rounds for the
year.

You will need to arrive at the track a minimum of 1 ½ hours prior to the

sign in time. If you know in advance that you will not be able to get to the track
by sign in time, talk to a club official. You will also be sent a txt if the meeting

IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED. You will be removed from the pits without your
armband.
At sign in, all drivers, in front of the Chief Steward or a club official, must read
the Code of Conduct and Declaration and sign to say they have read both and
agreed to abide by their terms. A sample Code of Conduct and Declaration by
Entrants and Drivers is attached to the back of this book. Drivers will also
draw balls for the grid draw. The draw is final once it has been completed. All
drivers receive 2 heats and 1 final for normal race meetings. Depending on
the numbers of cars entered, there may be split heats.
All cars and driver’s race gear will be scrutineered at each race meeting prior
to the Drivers’ Briefing. The Club has the right to inspect any equipment or
safety gear that you or your crew use. Your log book must be handed to the
scrutineer - yourself and the scrutineer are to sign the book once scrutineering

Officials to make any required entries into your log book during the night’s
racing.

speak up.

Take the time to read the rule book. There is no point going onto the track if
you don’t know the rules. Read Speedway Australia Rules.
If you will not race the next heat due to damage, let the Race Secretary know
so that the grid can be crossed over. Once cars are on the dummy grid, there
is no crossing of grids.

Point Scoring
At present, the club runs two racing points scores:
 Powranna Plant Hire Series and
 Club Point Series.
Powranna Plant Hire Series – this is run generally over 9 or 10 race meetings
throughout the season. There is a small cost to enter and sponsor stickers
need to be placed on the car. Points are awarded to all drivers who enter and
turn up to the race meeting and extra points are awarded depending on
finishing placing's in the heats and final. Prize money is paid to all who enter.
There is an entry form to be completed which states all supplementary rules
and regulations.
The club also holds a general point score that runs for the whole season at all
track meets.
Tow and Prize Money
The Club pays each driver a set amount of tow money to attend each race
meeting.
Prize money is also awarded to the first three placegetters in the final. All
money is to be signed for at the end of each race meeting from the Secretary.
Please note – nominated drivers do not pay to enter the track at Latrobe and
Hobart. Therefore, any tow money paid to drivers will be tow money less $25
(as entry fees may change so does the amount owed to drivers) = $45.
Drivers pay to enter the track at Carrick so the full amount is paid.
Prize money is calculated on the numbers of cars that enter as the club gets
appearance money based on the number of car that nominate. Therefore this
will change from meeting to meeting. Once all tow money is paid, the “left
over amount” is divided the following way –
50% direct to the club
st
nd
rd
The other 50% is split - 50%, 30% and 20% between 1 , 2 and 3 place
getters in the final
Each driver must donate their first nights racing tow money to the Club’s
general fund each season. This is usually put towards a large costing item
that the club purchases.
