The roar of speedway motorcycles will return to Mildura's Olympic Park this Saturday night, November 14, as the Robinson Plumbing 2027 Victorian Solo Speedway Championship brings a competitive field of riders to the track.
And with 16 riders battling for the Victorian title, this year's championship is shaping up to be a wide-open contest.
The event, proudly sponsored by Robinson Plumbing, will feature riders from Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, along with two invited competitors based in the United Kingdom.
Among those expected to challenge for the title are Mitch McDairmid, Jack Morrison, Dayle Wood, Jake Turner and Beau Bailey.
But they'll have some international competition, with UK-based riders Luke Harrison and Will Cairns joining the field.
Tayla Street Returns to Olympic Park
One rider worth keeping an eye on is Tayla Street.
The only female competitor in the senior field, Tayla has recently returned from a European racing stint that included world championship experience.
She's no stranger to Olympic Park either, having raced at the Mildura circuit on numerous occasions.
The technical nature of the Olympic Park track makes it a challenging venue, and Tayla has continued to improve with each visit.
With a competitive field and no clear favourite, Saturday night's Robinson Plumbing Victorian Solo Speedway Championship could produce some close racing.
More Than Just the Main Event
There'll be plenty happening beyond the senior championship, with junior 250cc solo riders also taking to the track.
Five classic sidecars will add another dimension to the evening, giving spectators a chance to enjoy some of the machines that have helped make motorcycle speedway such a popular part of Mildura's sporting history.
Olympic Park has been home to motorcycle racing since 1947 and remains one of Australia's best-known speedway venues.
A Big Summer of Speedway Ahead
Saturday's Victorian Championship is just the beginning of another busy season at Olympic Park.
The Jason Lyons Solo Trophy follows on November 28, with the Phil Crump Solo Classic scheduled for December 28.
Then, on January 2, Mildura will host the opening round of the 2027 Australian Solo Speedway Championship.
For speedway fans, there's certainly plenty to look forward to over the coming months.
And with Robinson Plumbing backing Saturday night's Victorian Championship, the stage is set for another big evening of racing at one of Mildura's most recognisable sporting venues.
Will one of the local favourites take the Victorian title, or could an interstate or international visitor spoil the party?
We'll find out under the lights at Olympic Park this Saturday night!
