What to put on: full-sleeves shirt / tee, polo-neck, closed-toe footwear, a hat, and glasses to cowl your eyes. Even so, I used to be not ready! The grime really flies until regardless of how far you’re seated! The nearer you’re to the monitor, the extra probably you’ll get a complete clod of clay in your head (for those who’re fortunate!). I obtained hit by a tiny speck in my neck and that was my painful reminder of why I don’t bask in issues like paintball! After which there have been two fist-sized items of clay that flew approach excessive into the sky, approach above the fencing and landed proper at our ft – fortunately!

And the opposite unfastened grime flies like powder and settles on each floor. In my tote bag, on my face, in my shirt, in my hair, it was EVERYWHERE. So, a bathe in your return, is one thing to be deliberate for.

The gang was enormous and took a while to actually fill-in the world. Numerous enjoyable. Everybody had their very own camp chairs or in the event that they discovered a spot on the grass, they had been on the grass. Fairly chill scene.

It was ridiculously FUN! And I might positively do it once more! In all probability with shorts and a tee this time as a result of I really feel that may be extra enjoyable as a substitute of being absolutely lined up – it’s simply grime anyway AND there’s a bathe on the finish of evening.

This was the primary occasion on the Murray Bridge Speedway, of the Brandt Sprintcar Speedweek from December twenty sixth 2025 to 1st January 2026.

I didn’t carry my digital camera with me this time as a result of I needed to immerse myself within the expertise and in addition get a lay of the land so to talk. Subsequent time? Hell sure!
