When Sedans Were King
Welcome to When Sedans Were King, Graham's Track and Runway section on the hey day of Speedway Sedans in Australia - the 1970s. It is my intention to provide as much detail on this subject as possible through race results, new articles and pictures. So if you would like to help by sending scans of programmes, magazine articles or your own photos please email me: Contact Graham. The idea behind this grew from my original article of the same name on my memories of Lismore Speedway in the '70s. This article is included here as Memories of Lismore.
