Therefore the cache is being Archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Geocache Description:

small cache hidden in a local park

AHHH, ROWLEY PARK SPEEDWAY
THE PLACE WHERE THE CHAMPIONS GATHERED

Not far from the listed co-ords is a small plaque to commemorate that Adelaide once had a speedway very close to town. this plaque is located about 50 feet ABOVE where the start/finish line was located on the main straight.
I remember going to this place on friday nights,as FRIDAY NIGHT WAS SPEEDWAY NIGHT !!!
When I was in my teens and 20's I loved to come here to watch the racing and my favourite place was to stand next to the wire fence on the back straight and listen to those thundering V8 powered sprint cars flying past you sideways and flinging up mud up at you. That is something I will NEVER forget.
Speedway never seemed to be the same when it was moved out to Virginia, as, at this location, the noise/dust was becoming a problem.
The cache contains the usual FLIPPER&CO items.
BUT, for the first correct answers on the next questions, there will be a selection of Mrs. Flippers trinkets.


Question 1, where was the speedway located BEFORE moving to ROWLEY PARK???
Question 2, WHEN did ROWLEY PARK open ???
Question 3, WHEN did ROWLEY PARK hold it's final RACING MEETING???
Question 4, What event was held ONE WEEK later ?????

Now, for the next big question, On that night, WHO drove a SPRINT CAR, WITHOUT a helmet, for 3, pedal to the metal hot laps ????,
The question is in 4 parts,
The name of the driver, the number of the car and the name of the car, BONUS, if you can tell me WHERE this car is now located and WHO was the main sponser of the car/driver????.

( I know where it is)
Please, EMAIL THE ANSWERS TO FLIPPER&CO.
You will need to use you cloak of invisibilty to snare this one as there will be muggles using this area at any given time, maybe a fluro jacket may help?????
