In 1982 the drag racing scene in Queensland was in jeopardy, the area surrounding the Surfers Paradise Raceway at Carrara was becoming more built up with houses and shops. Local racers decided in order for the sport to continue to grow, a suitable home with plenty of land would need to be secured.Keith White, who was part of the committee formed to find this new land, became aware that the Commonwealth Government had given some land to Moreton Shire (what is now Ipswich) to be developed for sporting use. The newly formed committee travelled to the open farm land to find a perfectly suited open plain area that could be developed into the 1320ft drag strip that would become known as Willowbank Raceway.A team of fans, racers and their friends and family spent the next three years building the track and the facilities. They used every weekend, public holiday and day off clearing the paddocks, constructing buildings and fences and prepared the facility to open as a venue for drag racing.
