There's no better way to learn than by seeing it for yourself. Wander through the pits, check out the cars and have a chat with drivers and their families. Speedway is a welcoming, family-oriented sport, and everyone was new once.

Many families begin by purchasing a ready-to-race Junior Sedan, and chances are someone in the pits will know of a suitable car for sale. If you'd rather build your own, we can also point you in the right direction to ensure it's built to the current Racing Sedans Australia specifications.
