BURSON AUTO PARTS COMES TO THE RESCUE

The company gets behind Victoria’s Nyora Speedway in its time of need

Every Burson Auto Parts store across the country has a special commitment to its local community.

The company’s Pakenham (Victoria) store recently played an integral role in assisting a local community group that had suffered a sudden and unexpected setback.

A very popular local Sprintcar racing venue, Victoria’s Nyora Speedway has a history dating back to 1960, starting out as a safe place for local teenagers to drive beat-up old paddock cars, growing to become one of the largest Speedway organisations in Victoria.

Nyora Speedway has a growing membership of more than 150 dirt racing enthusiasts competing in VSC Open Standard Saloons, VSC Ladies Standard Saloons, VSC Junior Standard Saloons, SSA Junior Sedans, VSC Sports Sedans and Vic Mini Sprints club categories, hosting more than ten race events each year.

The regional venue also runs exciting speedway races for Modified Production Sedans, Street Stocks, V8 Dirt Modifieds and on occasion SDAV Hot Rods along with Crash n’ Bash/Demolition Derby events.

The Burson Auto Parts Pakenham store has been a long term sponsor of Nyora Speedway joining several other local businesses that support this family orientated venue and club to cover its operating and maintenance costs.

A break-in over the Christmas break saw Nyora Speedway lose more than $15,000 worth of essential tools and equipment.

“We Give a Damn” value pillar became a reality, with the Pakenham store team organising quality replacement Milwaukee tools and equipment to ensure the Speedway’s continued operation. This significantly eased the financial impact of the break-in for this not for profit local Speedway racing venue and club, assisting them when they needed it most.

“On behalf of the Nyora committee and members we would like to thank you for your continued support of our complex over the years,” Nyora Speedway Club President, Marcus Reddecliffe, said.

“We all appreciate your kind donations. Without support from local businesses like Burson Auto that we can highlight and encourage meaningful changes that can deliver safety improvements and help save lives,” Jackie said.

The My Melbourne Road survey follows RACV’s My Country Road survey in 2021, which saw more than 4,000 Victorians provide feedback on the state of Victoria’s regional and rural roads. In the survey, 31 roads were highlighted as having serious safety issues. Of these, 16 have seen infrastructure upgrades commence or committed to by government.
