SRN’S PROUD HISTORY

Speedway Racing News is Australia’s longest running race publication with origins tracing way back to August, 1971.
SRN has been published fortnightly by present owner David Tapp since he acquired the publication in 1998.
In earlier years it was released monthly, tracing way back to volume one, issue one in February, 1972.
In recent years, the overall standard and profile of the publication has been raised significantly with initiative changes and refinements.

With this policy, SRN took another upward turn in early 2007, when the long used A3 format was abandoned for a more recognisable, traditional magazine style. Accompanying this change was a switch to full-colour gloss print.

Published by Power Productions Pty Limited, the publication is the flagship of Australia’s most comprehensive speedway media organisation. Publisher David Tapp brings to the table a wealth of experience in the sporting community. A former Head of Sport for John Singleton’s Macquarie Radio Network, a multiple CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motorsport) Media Member of the Year winner and a former CEO of the South Sydney Rabbitohs National Rugby League franchise, Tapp has built a thriving publishing and television business around speedway that remains unparalleled.

At SRN we pride ourselves on being the undisputed news leader, supported with a strong editorial viewpoint on poignant matters within the speedway industry.

Aside from SRN, Power Productions is responsible for Australia’s longest running purely speedway television program “Chequered Flag” which enters its 16th season in 2010/2011, as well as numerous other TV projects including Rugby League, Oz Tag, Lawn Bowls, Karting, Ice Hockey, Water Polo, Basketball, In Line Hockey, Boat Racing, Rodeo; airing on Fox Sports, Network Ten, ONE HD, SPEED and Bigpond Sport. See www.powerproductions.net.au for further information on the TV production business.

Speedway Racing News, in conjunction with its parent company, David Tapp Power Productions, also offers speedway fans the most comprehensive range of speedway DVDs available in Australia.
