The Club's first sprint meeting was held at Strathpine on 25 or 26 June
1955 and sprints were run there until its closure. The results of
that first sprint meeting can be accessed here. When Strathpine closed,
Lowood became the site for these events until its closure.
Some events were then held at Lakeside with the most recent
being held at Queensland Raceway. Most of these recent events
now are part of the Ironman weekend.
