Vintage Speedway — October 15, 2022

Saturday October 15, 2022 saw Gasworks Motorsport Inc host the Allan Birkett Tribute Vintage Speedway Event at Illabo Motorsport Park.

After a couple of days of medium to light rain in the week leading up to the event, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies and rather pleasant spring day for the main event.

We had the most number of driver nominations ever for an event and a record number of spectators attend for the day.

Everyone had plenty of track time — we even had to call out the water truck a couple of times to reduce the dust from the track!

A huge thanks to everyone who made it such an enjoyable day — the Gasworks Volunteers, the Drivers and their Pit Crews & families, and the Spectators.

This was the last event for our 2022 season and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2023.
