Things to do in Murray Bridge: August 20-26, 2021
Get set for roll racing, horse racing, a footy clinic and more.
Roll racing will return to The Bend this Saturday night.
The format is comparable to drag racing, but with high-end street cars.
It originated in the United States, where old air strips are more often used in venues, but here in Australia racetracks have proven more accessible.
If you’re looking for a bit of petrol-powered fun this weekend, roll up, roll up.
