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 by http://www.shuttersport.co.nz/)
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. Keep an eye on Percy's NZ Speedway for what will no doubt be an 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
