Buckle in Sunners, because Baypark Family Speedway has a great season ahead for you.

Baypark event promoter Bernie Gillon says the season kicks off this Labour weekend, and he's expecting a great evening.

'It's opening night tomorrow night, which is always a pretty good night.”

Bernie says they recently drew the competition for naming rights of the speedway for the season, worth about $30,000 – and the lucky winner is Greerton business Danz Engineering.

'What we did this year was we ran a corporate pass promotion and every business that bought a corporate pass, which is basically an extended season ticket, we put them into the draw for the naming rights for the speedway for the season.”

'The lucky winner was Danz Engineering in Greerton and they're a speedway family; they've got two children that race in speedway. It was a really great win for them.”

But the fun is only just starting, with a stellar season ahead.

'In two weeks' time we have our big fireworks display on Guy Fawkes' night, and we put up about $20,000 worth of fireworks and so that's always a very big event,” says Bernie.

'As well as the fireworks we have a lot of visiting saloon cars and stock cars.”

Bernie says it's going to be an action-packed season, with four big events planned during the Christmas and New Year period.
