FELICITY Roycroft, proudly racing under car number Wang 65 and holding the title of Ladies Vic 1, is no stranger to speedway.

When she’s not at the track, she’s running Aerodrome Automotive with her husband Shane, a business that’s also a dedicated sponsor of Wangaratta City Raceway.

This is her eighth year racing, a journey that has seen her take time out to raise two children along the way.

Growing up in a family of racers, it was almost inevitable she’d end up behind the wheel.

The youngest of seven kids, Felicity found her way into speedway through her husband, who let her race his car - from there, she was hooked.

Felicity races a Ford FG Falcon (4L) and competes in several classes at Wangaratta, including Sports Sedans, Ladies Sports Sedans, Production Sedans, and GOS (Goulburn Ovens Sedans).

She takes immense pride in watching her own children race, admiring the respect and passion they bring to the sport.

As the current secretary of Wangaratta City Raceway, Felicity has a deep appreciation for the volunteers who keep the club running.

“From the canteen staff to the flaggies, stewards, and infield crew, everyone plays a vital role,” she said.

“It’s a tough job, and we couldn’t do it without them.”

Her trophy cabinet is impressive, boasting multiple wins across various classes.

Felicity is the reigning Ladies Vic 1, Ladies Club Champion (for three years running), Sports Sedans Club Champion (also for three years), and overall Wangaratta Club Champion (three consecutive years).

She’s finished Vic 2 in Standard Saloons twice and currently holds the title of Vic 3 in GOS.

Notable wins also include the Marg Beattie Memorial (twice), Queen of the Valley, and Queen of Carrick in Tasmania.

Felicity supports a wide range of classes, from Crash n Bash to Street Stocks, Modified Sedans, and more.

Her favorite racing memories revolve around traveling with her kids, sharing the joy of speedway together.

Looking ahead, her big ambition is to make a mark at an Australian Title.

“Hopefully, I don’t have to wait until 2026 for the Production Title at Wang, but I’d love to do well in an Aussie Title,” she said.

Her sponsors include Aerodrome Automotive and Be Seen Signs.

You can follow Felicity’s racing journey on Facebook, where she shares her adventures on the track.

As her son says, “As long as you’re having fun, Mum, I’m proud of you”—but winning never hurts!
