NZ Sidecar Champs preview. They've staked
a claim on everything from Phar Lap to pavlova – now the Australians have
set their sights on our national sidecar championship crown. Former world
champions Darrin Treloar and Justin Plaisted are jetting across the Tasman
to compete in the Dig-it Earthmoving New Zealand Sidecar Championships,
to be staged at Oreti Park Speedway, near Invercargill, this weekend. ........read

Rodney Wood 51m has scored
the biggest win of his short Sprintcar racing career by taking a very popular
win at the NZ Sprintcar champs at Cromwell . The title was decided by way
of a 25 lap final won by Wood from Americans Ricky Logan and Jonathan
Allard .(image courtesy of sharl@sportsimages.co.nz)
The outcome of the Enzed Superstock Teams
Racing at Palmerston North is well known
already but won't be forgotten for a long time . The Nelson Tigers pummelled
the defending champs the Palmerston North Panthers to a standstill on their
way to the final against the fantastic UK team . The final was also a car
destroying exercise by the Tigers leaving the UK team with just one mobile
car at the end. While many punters considered the first night of racing
a bit on the tame side the finals night was anything but and the meeting
has once again cemented itself as the premier nz speedway event of the
season.
The NZ TQ Midget G.P.
at Gisborne was won by 2nz Craig Todd from 5G Dylan McGregor and
15A Lawrence Baker |

 Not
much has gone to plan in recent weeks for the
major NZ Championships but one that did escape the weather woes was the
excellent NZ Super Saloon Championship at Huntly. If you missed it or want

from the recent Super Saloon Champs is available: $25 plus $2 Post and

Eight times New Zealand sprintcar champion,
Allan Wakeling took out both features races of the Sprintcar Summer Slam
series at Ruapuna Speedway on Friday and Saturday evening.
On Friday evening the Aucklander headed home
American Ricky Logan in the second running of the Salute to Goodie Classic,
with local Matt Honeywell third. On Saturday evening Wakeling secured the
Gold Cup when again defeating Logan with Auckland’s Jamie McDonald grabbing
third spot............. read

Super Saloons 2nz Shane McIntyre and 21h Steve Williams demonstrate
that no matter how good a driver you are when things are going to go wrong
thay are going to to just that.

Drama and Controversy
combined with a whole lot of on track action at Rotorua over the weekend
to create one of the most memorial and brutal Superstock World 240's yet
. The drama and controversy was mostly centred around the trailering of
85h Jared Wade for a misdemeanour after he went on a rampage in heat two
of the finals ruining the chances of many top hopes with most of his attention
focussed on the two Joblin cars . 72p Simon Joblin wasn't fit to front
for the 3rd heat but brother Scott Joblin did and scored his biggest win
yet in his short Superstock career by not only winning the heat but also
the World Invitation Superstock Champs title . Second was North Island
Champ 4b Joe Faram after he succeeded in a run off with 89r Dale Robertson
. Read the full
review of the meeting on the Rotorua site . Other
big winners of the weekend were . Usa
drivers Jonathan Allard , Ricky Logan and NZ's Rodney Wood for the NZ Sprintcar
G.P at Western Springs . At Greymouth
it was 871c Luke Keegan , 71s John Jackson and 3nz Glen Leech for the NZ
Modified G.P. . Northerners claimed
the podium at Palmerston North for the NZ Minisprint Championship 1nz =73k
Brian Edwards , 2nz= 55h Daniel Thomas, 3nz= 2nz Shaun Cooke . Palmerston
North also ran the Nth Island Sidecar
champs with 97p Mike Zachan and Paul Humphrey the winning combination .
34v John Pitt and Jason Wallis were 2nd and 19v John Hannon and Kervin
Demanser 3rd .
The Kiwi midget drivers at the Chilli Bowl
may
not have achieved the results dreamed of but a credible 11th for Michael
Pickens and 20th for Brad Mosen is a great achievement when the quality
and quantity of the competition is taken into account .

 Australian
riders reigned supreme in round four of the inaugural
Sidecar GP trans-Tasman Test Series, staged at Oreti Park Speedway recently.
Former World Champions Darrin Treloar and Justin
Plaisted, of New South Wales, continued their impressive domination of
the series, once again taking top honours.
“Our plan was to come and win as many rounds
as we could and so far we have won 3 out of 4 with one round to go so we
are pretty pleased with that,” Treloar said.
“Our aim now is to qualify for the World Sidecar
Champs in August over ...............read

 Brent
Emerson is one happy Super Saloon driver after reclaiming the NZ Title
that he last held a couple of seasons ago . Picture by NZ
Stockcar Crazy!!.
Huntly Placemakers Speedway staged the NZ Super Saloon Champs
this past weekend and provided a better than
decent track that not only provided spectators with a show to watch but
also allowed the drivers to race rather than survive which is sadly often
the norm with the huge horsepower class. The format used meant the winning
driver raced a total of 113 laps over the course of two nights but as often
is the case the most important lap was the last . 7m Brent Emerson was
the driver that raced fabulously to be leading that last lap . Last year's
champ Shane McIntyre was never out of contention and finished 2nd . South
Island sensation 25i Mike Verdoner rounded out the podium and will surely
be happy to return home to the deep south with 3nz on the side of his car
. Huntly has earned plenty of accolades with regards the way they ran this
championship and all of them are deserved.. Read Percy's
review for more detail and Greg has been busy typing on his 'Spectator'
blog too to give us another perspective .
At Woodford Glen the NZ Modified Champs
struck trouble with the weather on qualifying night so opted for a one
day championship that turned back into two when the meeting ran past midnight
. 11a Jamie Fox finally scored his 2nd NZ Championship after being a major
contender every year for several years . Following him on to the podium
was a relative newcomer in the form of 121s Stuart Rose with an ex NZ Champ
29c Glen Leech in third .
At Palmerston Nth the NZ Stockcar G.P.
was run and as expected any event involving more than 100 stockcars meant
there was a load of carnage and controversy . A unexpected winner(by me)
emerged from it all in the form of 67w Kane Hargreaves to make his debut
on the national championship winners register , second was 15p Rob Miers
with 5p Brett Hyslop winning a 3 way run off for third place.
This coming wednesday Wanganui's
Ocean View Speedway hosts the 'Balls
of Steel' Speed Fest and it's jam packed with variety . Not to be missed
they reckon and they could be right . the NZ versus Australia sidecar test
match is sure to thrill .
Next weekend the only place to be
for Superstock followers is Rotorua for the running of the World 240's
featuring sixty plus drivers from both NZ and abroad battling it out in
what is traditionally one of speedway's hardest fought contests. Can't
wait!!. |

Modifieds have wings so they can fly
would be the assumption after looking at this Westpeak
Photography shot of 226s Blair Luscombe at Stratford on saturday evening
. Images of the equally spectacular aftermath can be found by clicking
here .Thankfully the drivers involved are reportedly ok . As
could have been expected 11a Jamie Fox won the Taranaki Modified champs
and the Midget Series round win was taken by 54a Michael Pickens . 90+
Laps to get a 30 lapper run though so obviously things didn't go that well
.
Over at Palmerston North the Panther fans are
crying into their chip cartons after their team went down to a rampant
Nelson Tigers team in a one off encounter . The general concensus is that
the Panthers will be back on their game come Teams Champs time in February
although the Tigers will now return with restored confidence in their own
ability and that could make a very big difference to the outcome .
 48a Phil
Towgood(picture by h20mph)
carried the chequered when the racing for the
NZ Saloon G.P. was done with at wellington on saturday night . The ever
enduring brilliant to watch driver was followed home by 1nz Brent McClymont
and 21h Steve Williams . There was a good turnout of cars for this event
too so perhaps speedway G.P's aren't dead after all . The
Canterbury Superstock championship was
not won by 1nz Malcolm Ngatai as might have been expected . The new champion
is 83c Shane Anderton .
Much of the planned speedway in
the North Island fell victim to rotten weather , sad as it sounds it does
mean there are some extra good value meets to be had over the coming weeks
. I will try and get my calandar up to speed with the changes this week
. And who ever would of thought
there would be 40 Superstocks at Kihikihi next sunday for the King Country
champs . |
 30-11-2009
12 class outfits turned up for the Waikato
Sidecar Champs at Kihikihi on sunday which was won by 9g Deane and Rob
Millar from 1nz Les Plummer and Kervin Demanser .The other highlight of
the meeting was the 16 Superstocks who were obviously getting geared up
for the NZ Champs happening at Kihikihi in just under 2 months time . Macgor
was at Kihikihi because his saturday night speedway plans were wrecked
by the inclement weather that ruined many meetings around the country.
Nelson
was one of the few that ran and Skinny
Colson won the War of the Wings Sprintcar meeting there . There was an
excellent interview with Skinny on TV1 sunday afternoon , if you missed
it then luckily it's
available here. At Western Springs
they managed a part meeting on Saturday night and the rest of it on Sunday
evening albeit with noise issues that sidelined a car or two. The Wynns
International Sprintcar Classic winner was 9usa Joey Saldana from 7usa
Craig Dollansky. First Kiwi home was 8a Ryan O'Connor in 3rd . Roll on

Who would have believed
the Auckland Alley Cats would beat the Manawatu Steelers at their own game
in the final of the TWS Stockcar Teams Invitation at Huntly on Saturday
night but that's exactly what happened and a spell binding final it was
too with the win not in the bag until a few metres from the flag . The
meeting produced some great action for the fans although night one was
the better of the two simply for the extreme nature of the racing, I guess
cars and drivers were feeling it a bit on night two. Huntly sure has the
base built for this event to become a must see on every stockcar fanatic's
itinerary in the seasons ahead . read
Percy's review for more.
54a Michael Pickens(Sportsweb
Photography) as expected was the victor by a country mile in the
Manawatu Midget Car Classic that featured a 15 car field of many of this
countries best . Pickens started from the rear of the 30 lap feature so
it was a win that was worked for . This event was part of the National
Midget Car Series and the next round is scheduled for Stratford on the
5th of December. The other big event on the card was the Manawatu Superstock
Champs , 22 cars and 591p Wayne Hemi the winner. Bit of action too if the
Discussion Board is anything to go by .
Other big winners of the weekend
were Jamie Fox for the Modified Gold Cup and 2nzr Steve De Malmanche claimed
the Streetstock 290'sat Waikaraka, Ritchie Taylor won the Canterbury Super
Saloon Champs while the Nelson Tigers dealt to the Glen Eagles at Woodford
Glen. The Super Saloon Car Series at Meeanee was won by Brent Emerson .

Macgor ventured to Baypark for the running
of the Harry Fredrickson Stockcar Gold Cup on Saturday night and witnessed
his best night of Stockcar action so far this season . The Gold Cup race
was superb with several different visiting leaders falling foul of the
local mafia who were working hard to make sure a Baypark competitor got
the win and 35m Graham Keating drove well to be the one . 22 Saloons also
provided a worthy show . Not so enthralling was the 8 Super Saloons or
the 15 Sprintcars running on a dusty track, the stop start nature of the
Sprintcar racing was also frustrating to watch. Read the Spectator
Blog for what I consider a perfectly accurate account of the meeting
. Not a bad night though and actually better than expected .
Other notable meetings were run
and probably the biggest was the Super Saloon Championship of Champions
at Woodford Glen . 58c Ritchie Taylor won that although his driving style
has come under criticism by some. 1nz Shane McIntyre managed 2nd from new
comer 17c Kane Lawson . Must admit I would have found it a pain watching
umpteen seven car races over two nights while waiting for one 16 car final
.
At Blenheim the Titans won
the Eve of Destruction Meeting from the North Island Cowboys team . Over
at Kihikihi yesterday 95a Gary lonergan
won the King Country Champs at a meeting that was perhaps more notable
for the rotten weather and the no shows . The Ministock Stampede was won
by 75a Scott Tennant . |

The midgets are fast becoming a feature class
at the Waikato venue and it's great that one of the more traditional classes
of speedway is enjoying increased exposure and hopefully an increase in
numbers .
The 2nd annual Manawatu Midget Car Classic
at Palmerston North is set to run on the 21st of this month and as the
meeting doubles as the first round of the Samsung National Midget Car Series
a top class field will fill the starting grid . Pickens , Worboys , Mosen
, Insley , Kendall , Clarkson and Thompson are just some of the names on
a promise .I think even Stockcar fans will be impressed with this lot of
fast hard chargers.

The picture of the new National Speedway Scene magazine cover
is there because quite frankly it was of the most impressive things I saw
this weekend and much of the reading was equally impressive . Some excellent
writers and some great topics and images . I learnt a whole lot more about
Ian(jack jack) Easton and his cars and with the whole magazine printed
on glossy paper and in colour it's a real keepsake . Plenty of other good
reading too about Shane McIntyre , Ian Burson and others . The Barry Butterworth
Poster is a bonus and if posters are a regular feature you will need plenty
of wall space.
Hopefully a good balance can maintained between
North and South Island topics and the many varied main classes we run.
If I have any groan it is that the stapling aint
that flash on my copy, typically I get the odd one out . Ways and means
of purchasing can be found by clicking
here .
I'm not sure if it's my imagination but
it seems to me the new speedway season is hitting the mark with the fans
and they are turning out in bigger numbers than ever . I realise part of
it is to do with fireworks and the changes in law relating to the sale
of them but even the speedway practices seemed to be well attended by onlookers.
I guess the true state of play will emerge over the next few weeks .
Plenty of talk on the Discussion
Board about all the meetings along with some
photos and videos clips .
Don't forget to check out the Driver
Boards too , recent updates have been well worth
a read.

Christchurch
rider Dale Finch well and truely exorcised any
ghosts lingering from a horrific speedway crash when he claimed the Permacoat
Roofing New Zealand U21 Solo crown at the Oreti Park track on Saturday
night......
515r
Stan Hickey looked the goods through qualifying for the one race final
. He came to grief in the opening laps of the final when something broke
on the car which left 85h Jared Wade in the box seat and looking like a
double champion for the weekend . It wasn't to be though when he faded
a little as laps were clocked up while local NZ title hope 6k Kerry Remnant
turned in a superb drive in testing conditions to claim the win . Wade
hung on for second and the well performing 31p Andy McCabe was third .
Interesting to note the quiet achiever 75a Dave Tennant in fourth . Image
