| History: | Racing in Bell began in the late 1800s. The club has raced at its present site since 1924. There were also two clubs operating at one time - the other being the Bell Diggers Race Club. The Bell Race Club Inc has about 60 members, all volunteers, and the club has made many improvements over the years. Situated on a very picturesque spot the view towards the Bunya mountains across the track is beautiful. |
