Free entry for women to Valvoline Speedway tonight for Ultimate Sprintcar Championship. No other ticket needs to be purchased. They are raising awareness for breast cancer. Main race starts at 7pm or 7.30pm (can't remember). Qualifying times start at 6pm.
Sorry for the late notice. Hope it helps someone that didn't have plans tonight and needed plans. Turn up at the gate. Men are $30 to enter. Kids under 12 free.
Well said
Thanks Speedway. That's a good cause. My mum has breast cancer :(
60% of cancer victims are men

Breast cancer is the 4th biggest killer. Wouldn't it make sense to raise awareness on one of the top 3 cancers, or all cancer? Everyone seems to be doing breast cancer awareness, which seems odd given the figures. The top 3 cancers total about 15,000 deaths and breast cancer is about 3,000 deaths (or 20% of the top 4).

this is a sexist promotion that while promoting awareness of female breast cancer at the same time hides and stops awareness of the fact that men can and do also get breast cancer
Like to see the uproar if someone ran a free entry for men promotion
Yeah right but women have bigger breasts
What, you mean like the uproar that ensues over Blue September?
(profanity) off with your sensationalism and find something legitimate to have a whinge about.
It's probably also a way to get more females going to these events as I'm sure it's mainly men that would usually go. Either way, I hope they raise awareness in general for cancer and can raise a lot of money.
Disgusting and sexist.
Looks like I'm "identifying" as a woman tonight.
Nice try speedway, isn't this just like clubs offering free entry to women.
A thumbs up for the promotion, but really these events actually need to raise awareness of:
How to identify lumps and possible cancers;
What to do if you think you have a 'cancerous lump'
Monitor yourself - correctly
Keep up with bi annual scans (mammograms)
and finally….keep sexism out…More males dye of prostate cancer than females do of breast cancer - i dont see free entry for men when it was beyondblue and prostate week….
Dont be a hypocrite - im just stating the facts.
