07.01.2022 SPEEDWAY BLAST FROM THE PAST The date was 16th November 2008 The event was the Caravan Demolition Derby at Rockhampton Speedway ... Today I came across the footage from Greg Hughes who said he’s lost count of how many laps he completed at Rocky showgrounds. He did these in his that VW Passat. He said the best part was beating Larry Nelson in his Falcon hardtop. He tried to fence me but I ended up on top of the fence and on top of his Falcon...so kept the pedal on and drove down over his bonnet. I landed in front of him and kept on going! I came 2nd behind Morry Ward. The 1500cc VW beat his 351 v4 shit box Falcon....i still have a laugh about it. Larry was not am amused at me leaving tyre marks over his bonnet...haha Greg spent 20 years of his life in Speedway in Gladstone but spent a lot of laps at Rocky. Thanks Greg for sharing! Do you know someone who has a piece of speedway history? Have them contact us so Jess can feature their memory in the next edition of blast from the past!
