Flag raised on new race season

The chequered flag will be raised next weekend with the opening of a new season on MG Taranaki Stratford Speedway.

After a disrupted season last year, the Taranaki Stockcar Club has started earlier than usual to allow more race events to be squeezed in over the summer months.

The R&R Mechanical opening night on Saturday, October 22 is set to provide plenty of thrills and spillls with Superstocks, Modifieds, Minisprints, Saloons and Youth Ministocks all scheduled to contest their City of New Plymouth Classic events before the Naki Nitro Demolition Derby at the end of the program.

There are 19 race nights planned at MG Taranaki Stratford Speedway from October to April with something for everyone. Five national titles will be held at the Stratford Track as well as the Under 23 Stockcar Champs, 26 and Under Superstock Champ, West Coast Stockcar Teams Champs, Demolition Derbies, Taranaki Champs and numerous other events to be run throughout the season and the always wonderful Fireworks Spectacular that takes place Saturday, November 5.
