AUSTRALIAN SPRINT RACING HISTORY

The following are the first in a series of photos, videos, results and stories relating to the history of Sprint Racing in Australia.

The NSRA (and predecessors) as the national body for Sprint Racing in Australia for over 9 years has developed and maintained extensive records including Annual National Meeting Minutes, Race Results, Videos and photos that we will reproduce on the site in coming weeks.

Some records go back to the 1970s, while photos, results & videos were provided to the NSRA over the years by Affiliated Race Clubs to ensure accurate historical records and provide resources for publicity and marketing. Records include nomination forms for some All Australian Futurities & Derbys and a range of Applications for Race Horse Identity under national schemes since 1997.
