iris123 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Are there any other museums with a speedway or even board racing exhibit?I have seen that the museum at Hockenheim has what looks like a brilliant collection of racing cars and bikes,but am not sure if they have any relevant exhibits to speedways history...

arnieg Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Scottish Speedway Museum http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=55984 Steve Luxton's Garage Mahal http://www.speedwayplus.com/NewMahal.shtml and at Broxbourne the Paradise Park National speedway museum https://www.pwpark.com/national-speedway-museum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks arnieg.The Garage Mahal I always thought was a private collection.Steve Luxton is a relative of one of our members and have seen a few photos.Looked like a bar with speedway bikes etc as decoration. Am I right in thinking Ole Olsen has some memorabilia on display in Haderslev?But in a hotel rather than museum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I think the museum in To run is at the Speedway stadium.I will post updates daily,as I find new stuff..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 I am certain that at one time in the late 1940s there was a small speedway museum associated to Exeter Speedway? A confirmation - or denial! - would be appreciated. I have an idea that the famed Falcons' legtraiier and later their team manager Bernard 'Bronco' Slade was involved with the museum. I found a Denver Broncos museum,but that has nothing to do with speedway.And i think other than finding a time machine in the attic how do you propose visiting this museum that existed maybe,possibly in the 1940s ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

iris123 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Bit of internet activity due to the GP at the weekend.Lot of people visited the museum from what i saw. A video which shows it off probably better than a photo or two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZffAGGxICR0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 A link to the Torun Speedway stadium.Also makes money by hosting top stars like Rod Stewart!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MotoArena_Toru%C5%84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think the museum in Torun is at the Speedway stadium.I will post updates daily,as I find new stuff..... Seems i made a mistake and assumed it was at the stadium.Looking at further info it seems it is actually within a Shopping Centre,which would possibly attract more interest and promote the club/sport even more than just the converted who visit the stadium http://www.torun-plaza.pl/pl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igori Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hello friends! Welcome visit my home speedway museum.

Andy Downes Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 There are a few bits and pieces of Bristol Speedway memorabilia in the M Shed museum in Bristol - no real thought or narrative behind it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunky Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Remember, Doug, I did mention about the AMA Hall of Fame and museum just outside Columbus, Ohio. I still haven't been there yet, but it is only a couple of hours for me. I definitely need to get there this year! They have speedway and board-racing bikes and sections, and I don't know what else. I will let you all know when I have been... Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizHeathen Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 I haven't been to every speedway museum in the world, however I genuinely believe Ash's speedway museum in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia is the largest 'speedway only museum' in the world His collection of everything speedway is vast, this includes race jackets, suits, machinery, trophies, etc, etc. Situated very close to the Blue Mountains and the Mount Panarama Racetrack, if in the area, I strongly recommend a visit (Bathurst Long Track at the showgrounds is also an annual event) I've got plenty of photos from my visit if anyone is interested.

Looked a great place, but the link is now dead and I can’t seem to find a new link or reference to the museum on the Torun Plaza site.
