The reader, who asked not to be named, said they thought the recent proposal by local Carl Stevenson that Lake Macquarie City Council consider reviving the speedway at Morisset Showground was a "wonderful idea".
In the reader's photo album a news story from the early 1970s about Morisset Speedway reads: "This is speedway at its best, with topline Sydney drivers and their high-powered machines matching wits and horsepower against some of the best drivers in the state."
Prominent local drivers from the era included Joe Scruse (Doyalson), Ron Batey (The Entrance) and Rob Ronan (Wyong).
