Plenty of racing to be had this past weekend with many punters including myself managing three meetings in three days ,  Several racers managed to do the same .

The weekend started with the budget entry priced high value Rotorua club night the featuring the debut of the new 89r Superstock piloted by Dale Robinson and the first appearance of the 96r ex Joe Farem car now driven by Scott Redfern. Competitor numbers were high as were the moisture levels but still some good racing and action as the Sportsweb Photography image of 69r Carl Barrett illustrates. The right rear dug in, popping the tyre which then sent him hard on to the left rear, causing that to pop and dig in, putting him on his lid. 
The stand out event of the weekend for macgor was the Midget 40 lapper at Huntly with Michael Pickens and Brad Mosen starring in the cars that have been prepared to contest the Chilli Bowl in Tulsa . Although the two did dominate the quailifying races it was reigning NZ champion Shayne Alach that drove from the back of the 40 lapper after a terrible qualifying effort to take the win, A last corner dive back into the lead by Pickens was rejected by the Referee as being over the pole line. The Waikato Superstock Champs was contested on the same night with 25 cars in attendance and plenty of action . 85h Jared Wade was the winner of that event from 23h Lance Ashton .
The Sth Island Superstock Champs were contested at Blenheim and won by 48n Brett Nicholls from 1nz Malcolm Ngatai and 7n Craig Boote . A points tie between Boote and Ngatai was decided by a coin toss and why was Craig Boote test driving 1nz after the meeting?. 

The Under 23 stockcar Champs at Stratford was won by 95r Dale Stewart from 12w Simon Hendry  and 29m Ryan Huntly , I've been been told the racing was torrid and next year this meeting will be on my 'must do' list .

The Sunday meeting at Kihikihi was hot stuff both on and off the track . Less than the hoped for number of cars fronted for the King Country Superstock Champs but the 32 that did show turned on a show . 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 courtesy of Sportweb Photography
