Fast and furious action is back this weekend with the Robin Pratt Memorial Stockcar title on the line. This is one of the most prestigious local titles on offer with a rich history of past legends winning the title, and it is one championship that the locals try to make sure never leaves town. Metal crunching Stockcar action at its best!
Another massive field of Stockcars are expected to do battle for the silverware, picking a winner is anyone's guess. Defending champion 82p Roydon Winstanley will be looking to go back-to-back at this championship along with local King of the Arena Champion 992p Taylor Lampp who had a stellar 2021/22 and will be keen to carry his winning run into this season. Local hard chargers including current Manawatu Stockcar Champion 172p Daniel Burmeister and 79p Kyle Rowe are all in with a real chance to take the silverware this season. This title is always hard-fought no matter who emerges triumphant, so it should be an entertaining night's racing.
Saloons return to the Central Energy Trust Arena in the form of Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs racing wheel-to-wheel, along with the magnificent Midgets making their debut for the season with initial intention of a strong field of competitors in attendance. Superstocks will also shake the ground again this weekend, with many drivers looking to further fine tune their set ups - the distinct sound and raw power make Superstocks the glamour class of Speedway! The daredevil Sidecars are back at it again this weekend racing side-by-side and putting on a show for the fans!
