The finals night of the NZ Superstock champs at Huntly was full of drama, action and some great racing.
At the end of it all two drivers topped the points equally necessitating a run off over four laps. The run off
resulted in a very well deserved and popular NZ Superstock Championship win for 4b Joe Farem ,
79p Kerry Humphrey was 2nd and 7p Shane Penn 3rd.

66B Nick Meecham spun in front of the traffic which meant Kerry Remnant and Thomas Stanaway had nowhere to go
except over his front!
Sam Barthlomew in 10B got tossed through the air for the second time in his first heat. The first he landed safely and
could continue. The second time he was not so lucky, he ended on his roof!
Who ever said qualifying for the NZ Superstocks would be tame totally under estimated what the reality
might turn out to be as the action shots above from Sportsweb Photography demonstrate.
No need to guess as to where Macgor will be on Sunday evening at 7pm.
Huntly is where it's happening for the NZ Superstocks Championship finals, see you there!.

The Sportsweb shot of Malcolm Ngatai
above left suggests the 19c had an interesting time with the assistance of 87r David Elsworth during practice for the
NZ Superstock Championship at Huntly last
night. The other
shot is proof positive the new 591p of Wayne Hemi is in town and ready
to do business.The championship runs over the next two nights and the only way to see the action at Huntly this weekend is
by fronting up. Be there, you won't regret it.

An all new podium was the outcome of
the NZ Super
Saloon Championship at
Nelson this past weekend with Hawkes
Bay contracted and longtime
campaigner Steve Flynn finally and
deservedly scoring the big 1NZ for
the side of his car. Nelson drivers
achieved plenty by filling the next
two spots with 33n Neville Wood and
35n Mark Carey. The second and
third positions were sorted by a 3
way run off that included
Wellington's Martin Halcrow. (image

The NZ Streetstock
Championship at Gisborne
was a whitewash for locally
registered cars with 88g David
Hampton laying claim to the big
prize followed by Sean Gooch 9g and
Brenden Gooch 10g.
Both meetings were delayed to
varying degrees by unseasonable
weather.
|
Andy McCabe 31p is
another long time popular campaigner
who bagged a big time win this past
weekend but this time the class was
Superstocks and the title was the
World Invitation Superstock Champs
(World 240s) held at Rotorua. An
up and coming Rotorua driver in the
form of 87r David Elsworth filled
second spot who drove superbly all
meeting.
Third went the way of evergreen
Peter Bengston 58p.
Rotorua driver Bryce Steiner won the
Superstocks in Paradise part of the
meeting which automatically
qualifies him for the main event
next year |

The NZ Stockcar Teams Champs at
Palmerston North provided all you could
want from a speedway meeting with 12
stockcar teams, 30 superstocks and a
38-car stockcar consolation field
entertaining the big crowd over two
nights. The Palmerston North Pumas
retained their title after holding off
a spirited charge from the Wanganui
Vulcans, so they get to do it all
again next year.
The rotten
weather continues to play
havoc with the speedway seaosn and
forecasts are not suggesting much
change in the near future . Gisborne assembled a great field of
Streetstocks for their NZ Title but
had to postpone the finals night of
the event. The final is now set to run
this coming Friday. Qualifying results
are here.

The Heart of NZ Stockcar racing was
beating strong and provided an
excellent two nights of rigorous
contact racing action at Paradise
Valley between Christmas and New Year.
The NZ Stockcar champs may have
produced a predictable winner in now
four times champion Peter Rees but it
also produced a couple of fresh names
to the podium records in 242a Bernard
Fox and 52b Regan O'Brien. As always
the organisational effort by the
Rotorua club was top notch.

The SSCAR Super Saloons Series
ventured into Paradise Valley on saturday night and
rewarded the crowd with a show of
controlled racing worth watching. 8h
Craig Cardwell was one who won a heat
but that was where his luck ended and
it was a d.n.f. in the feature
for him. Feature winner was 2nz Grant
Flynn who survived unscathed from a
skirmish or two. Stockcar driver 272r
Seth McConchie definitely didn't win
the final stockcar race of the night
(courtesy of a failed attact on 35m)
but at least we now know he keeps the
underside of his racer clean.

The first NZ championship of the season has been
run and kiwi fans will rejoice with
the all NZ podium for the NZ Midget
Champs. Probably most will be doubly
happy that popular driver Michael
Pickens pulled off a decisive win.

entertaining and informative review

Palmerston Norths season has
certainly got off with a bang! With 16 rolls across
five different classes in as many
meetings. With a rain out mid meeting
holding up the Robin Pratt memorial
hot favourite 17p Shane Simpson was
unable to attend the conclusion and
with solid driving 31p Gary davis took
this years trophy. Another successful
ramp derby and the first round of the
PlaceMakers / Lucas Oil Superstock
Series done it was onto a regular
night, no trophies, no championships
nothing. Someone forgot to tell the
drivers that as stockcar drivers were
going nuts! Having a great old time.
126p Asher Rees experienced his first
roll over thanks to Jordan Dare 581p
and 71p Barry Ward said hello to some
concrete thanks to some help from 99p
Ron Tye in his brand new Rees tank.
Peter Rees welcomed his New colour
scheme to the track by winning all
three Superstock races convincingly. Coming
up this weekend is the Teams invasion so
don’t miss it! |

86v Frances Potaka in the process of
sending 206r Jeff Munro on what is probably
the wildest ride of his stockcar
racing career at the TWS Stockcar
Teams Invitation at Huntly on saturday
night. (image courtesy of Sportsweb
Photography ) see the rest of
the incident by watching this video clip.
Winners of the final were the Auckland
Alleycats who annihilated the Waikato
Raiders in the final. Read the superb Spectator site for a night one
review of the two day meeting , I'm
sure night two will be along in due
course. It truly was a great event and
with an excellent field of Superstocks
on hand for finals night one you
should not have missed. Well done
Huntly Speedway. |

If the racing
bug you thought you had
cured has flared up again then you
will need to check the SpeedwayAds
section, there are racers available
for most levels of investment and some
of them more than capable of securing
you a NZ title this season. If you
just want to get involved with
speedway this season or perhaps you
need some assistance with your racer
then check the Crew section .
If you don't see what you want then place
a
free ad. Get involved , Crew
this season , Race next season. |

 'Spectator'
has
just released his
2010/2012 speedway season review and when a copy of the
book turned up at Macgor's place all
other planned activities ground to a
halt as the much anticipated peruse
swung into action . Once again it's a
quality production physically having
been printed on good quality paper
with a thick robust hard cover and I'm
absolutely certain it will outlast
speedway fans half my age. Content
rules though and take it from me there
are no shortfalls in this edition with
the flavour of most major Superstock
and Stockcar meetings captured
honestly in text and illustrated with
plenty of high quality images. The
action , the cars and the people are
the ingredients of speedway and they
all feature magnificently in this 226
page review. This book is so well
produced that I'm sure even non
speedway people will be interested in
taking a look so when you get yours
make sure you leave it accessible so
your visitors can be wowed too.
Quality doesn't come cheap but in this
case it is certainly well worth the
investment. Head over to the Spectator site
to learn more or click this link to
see the online preview and secure your
copy direct from the publisher.
With the new season fast approaching
I decided it was
time for a big spring clean around
here and just like when cleaning my
garage I have swept most of the
clutter under the benches known as the
Archives
on here . A few months ago I wasn't so
sure I would carry on with the site
but finally I have made the decision
to continue for one more season at
least (health permitting). I am
however open to expressions of
interest from anyone keen to assume
command of the site including the
Speedway Ads section . Dollars would
be involved but just as important
would be a level head , a passion for
the sport and respect for it's
particiants on both sides of the fence
.
I have been
working on the Calendar,
I am aiming
to have it completed in the next week
or two although most info is still
provisional and already changes are
happening . Lots to look forward to up
here in the North with the NZ Stockcar
Champs at Rotorua expected to attract
a record number of entrants to the
best little stockcar track in the land
, Just up the road Huntly has the NZ
Superstock champs and with talk of
some new hotrods being built it could
the fastest drag race yet. It only
takes one to turn nasty though . The
Palmerston North Promotion's
management of Waikaraka Park will turn
the Park into an action attraction
again and I'm picking the Teams
Nationals will be a 'must see' this
season., mind you aren't they always?.
Baypark also has new management and
the vibes are good with talk of
better communication and more variety.
If Kihikihi
strikes it right with weather and
track conditions the NZ Saloon champs
will be a good two days of watching.
Yes it will be an
interesting season for me and I bet if
you take a look around you will find
plenty of positives to look forward to
in your part of the speedway world
too. |

Update :The
Trans Tasman Late Model v Super
Saloon Challenge Series
Due to a lack of support from the tracks in New
Zealand and the Aussie late model
drivers the return challenge will not
go ahead for the coming 2011-2012
season. Organiser Wayne Belk is
obviously disappointed with having to
cancel the series despite his best
efforts. |
| Don't
forget the Speedway
Ads
section , times are tough
so bag yourself a bargain |

is a good place to look for the
