Yes, that's my memory of it too. Insurance killed it.I think safety issues finally killed the event.

I was witness to one of the most stunning pieces of machinery ever - a Britten motorcycle all the way from UnZud - it looked extremely horney and sounded even better - art at its best - I will never forget that day!
^ One of the best things to come out of here

Not sure what has happened. I have been thinking about this event for a while wondering. I went in about 2003 and it was 40c plus. I was witness to one of the most stunning pieces of machinery ever - a Britten motorcycle all the way from UnZud - it looked extremely horney and sounded even better - art at its best - I will never forget that day!
I will second that.....I was there that day....The Britten was gooooood! I also have fond memories of an F5000 and a chick who was walking in front of us when we were going down to have a squizz at the Britten...she had her name tattooed on her lower back.....lovely stuff......

Yeah,it was Chanelle or Chantelle......it was in cursive script..........
Chantelle perhaps - maybe the lettering was a bit distorted 'over the couch"?

Good news is, this Easter the guy who ran the Geelong Speed Trials is organising a similar event at the Ballarat Airport.
Local Ballarat Motoring identity, John Emery is running a Historic Racing Event to celebrate 50 Years of the closure of the Ballarat Airport Racing Circuit this Easter (22-24th April). The Sprints will be run on Easter Sunday. Also organised is a Show & Shine on the Saturday at the Airport (Polocross Centre) and a display of Historic Racing Cars on the Friday at the Ballarat Mining Exchange.

Organising the Geelong Speed Trials took the efforts of many individuals freely volunteering their time. The Director and driving force behind the Speed Trials was Gary Grant, who is also the author of the History of the Geelong Speed Trials.
