Melbourne Speedbowl (also known by several other names) was a motorsport venue, located on Geelong Road in Brooklyn, Victoria, Australia. The site today is industrial buildings on Fleet Street in Laverton North.

History

The site which was originally a greyhound racing track was owned by a Mr. Wilson and he built a speedway track, which he named Brooklyn Speedway, with the intention of running Dirt track racing. In 1965, it was bought by three businessmen for A$ 250,000 and later opened for hot rods and stock cars.[1]

The venue then saw motorcycle speedway and sidecars introduced, the solo track record was set by riders such as Eric Boocock and Bert Harkins during 1968.[1]

Various promoters took over the track and it was renamed several times.[2]

The track became a significant venue for important events, including qualifying rounds of the Speedway World Championship starting in 1976[3][4] and the Victorian Individual Speedway Championship on eleven occasions from 1966 to 1981.[5]
