02-02-2012 at 08:00: Speedweek Downunder

March is the month of motorcycles in Queensland as Queensland Raceway (QR) will be hosting the biggest motorbike and tradeshow festival.

The Speedweek Downunder is aimed to be a family friendly, alcohol free, bike festival with something for everyone; camping, rides, motor-cross shows, demos, fireworks and dozens of trade vendors making up a huge bike supermarket.

After gaining the full support of the Ipswich City Council, the event organisers Dom Studin and Daniel Dries secured the largest venue in Queensland by signing a 6 year contract with Queensland Raceway.

“This type of event has been a long time coming,” said event organiser Dom Studin.

“We know bike enthusiasts all over Australia have been waiting for this for a while so we are expecting big numbers. We estimate we will see twenty to fifty thousand tickets sold”.

Many trade shows you are left pondering what to do, besides leave, after only a few short hours. Speedweek Downunder organisers will be accommodating for men, women and children by incorporating trade stalls, bike displays, live bands, dyno shootouts, amusement rides, show and shines, promo girls, a modelling competition, Jelly Wrestling, fun games and spectator involvement to create a fun, family festival atmosphere.

Speedweek Downunder will be the only show where patrons can participate in events, test rides, purchase or finance a bike on site, camp with mates all while while watching stunt shows and listening to live bands.

The festival will feature bands such as: The Giants featuring Angry Anderson, Black Horse Six, Chasing Sun and Death Valley, combined with entertainment from Showtime FMX and Stuntz Inc featuring Matt Mingay.

With a number of events to participate in there will be something for all rider levels and food lovers. Events such as: Push the Keg, Dirt Drags, Catch the Snag, Go to Whoa, Slow Race, Obstacle Race, Show and Shine, Drags, Burnouts and a Corn Eating Comp.

Speedweek Downunder will run from March 16th and finish on the 18th.
