The Annual Modified Invasion is always a
greatly anticipated meeting at Woodford Glen even though it does signal
the demise of the track's current season. This Easter's edition had the
extra bait of a face-off between current dual 1nz's Luke Keegan and
Jamie Fox on the card. The 22 car field of Modifieds came to wow the
crowd and wow they did. All heat races were action packed with great
competition between Keegan and Fox along with 13c and 7c for top
positions. The weekend ended on finals night with Christchurch local
Luke Keegan bringing home the Modified Invasion Series Trophy with 13c David
Thompson and 7c Hayden McKay taking 2nd and 3rd respectively. A great
way to polish off the season at Woodford Glen.
Full results on the Woodford Glen site and images are available from SR Photography.

was the brand new car of 19c/v Malcom Nagtai hot on the pace. 4p Chad

As depicted by the Sportsweb Photography images
above the Huntly TWS Stockcar Teams event that ran Friday and Sunday
this past weekend was an absolute spectacle for all the right reasons.
Stunning is the only word I can garner to describe the massive hits and
resulting carnage. Particularly impressive was the semifinal between the
Auckland Alleycats and the Waikato Raiders. Both teams of drivers going
at it until the death or serious maiming of their cars. Winner of that
match had to face the Manawatu Steelers in the final and sadly for the
Alleycats they fell at the final hurdle.The Manawatu Steelers are the
deserved champions and masters of their game, that's the cool dudes with the fancy trophy above,
and best of all they did it without using confusing team numbers on
their cars.There were no dud teams at this event , every team and every
driver acquitted themselves well and did their followers proud.
This teams event at Huntly has really cemented itself as a signature
event now so if you weren't there make sure you don't make the same
mistake next year.
In other teams events this weekend in Wellington the Nelson Tigers
Superstock team tamed the Wellington Wildcats and in retribution the
Wellington Young Guns dispatched the Tasman Thunder Stockcar team.
In Christchurch and involving more Stockcar teams it was Ken's Cowboys
on the loosing end of the match against the Canterbury Crushers.

The Palmerston North season opener
is always keenly anticipated. It signals to the whole country that the
new season is well and truly here and ready to roll. It also is often a
pointer to the state of the nation with regards competitor numbers
particularly in the Superstock and Stockcar classes . This season would
seem to be about to deliver a bumper crop of bumpers to the Robertson
Holden International Speedway with 30 Superstocks and 90 Stockcars
signed up to carry the 'P' after their number. Promoter Bruce Robertson
is understandably hopeful the 90 Stockcars won't all turn up on the same
night. Stockcar fans will no doubt be hoping they do. Word is the
fastest Superstock at practices so far has been 2nz Kerry Humphrey in a
car that is 7 or 8 years old but looking brand new.
Also encouraging is the fact that 30 new drivers have to go through the
mentor program before they can race. Spare a thought for the scrutineers
who have had to greensheet 200 race vehicles and the volunteers
organising the whole show . Speedway is definitely alive and well in the
Manawatu so get yourself trackside at FMG Stadium Palmerston North this
Saturday night at 7pm and see for yourself.

Palmerston North opens this coming
weekend (weather allowing) and I'm not ready. With most of the more
keenly followed championships being in the 'other' Island this season
it's been a tad harder to get enthused. That said there are plenty
of likely good meetings to be had in the North so best get stuck into
them thus I have been working on my version of a Season Calendar to assist my/your planning. Still a few dates to be added but most of them are there. If I've missed yours then email them to me.
Macgors NZ Speedway is well pleased
to have secured the naming rights for the Nth Island Modified Champs set
to happen at Rotorua on the 27th & 28th of December. Whether it
runs one or two nights will be decided by entry numbers so come on chaps
if you've got a Modified get your entry sorted now.
The Macgor's Saloon Series will also be happening at Rotorua
again this season. The series is designed to offer incentive for cars
that turn up regularly and race sensibly. All credit to the Rotorua club
for running the Series .
I'm not sure how busy this page will be this season but major
event results will be published when available and there is a real
danger I might get carried away with some opinionated dribble from time
to time. I'm also happy to publish press release type info should it be sent my way. As always the Discussion Board will without doubt offer plenty of info and entertainment as the season progresses.
