The Thunderdome is a 1.8km or 1.1 mile tri oval paved speedway with twenty four degree banking on turns one to four. The track was open on the 3rd January 1987. Bob Jane imported a few motorbikes in the mid 80's and inspired by the name of the track, called them "Daytona" and are very rare, with only 5 known to have survived in the mid 80's. (photo on previous page) Bob Jane continued his legacy in the Australian Motorsport up until 2017. A true legend and I had the pleasure of meeting this great man at the Bathurst 1000 many years ago.
