Palmerston North Speedway
It was a windy night at the Speedway on Saturday night, however for 19 of the countries top Sidecar teams for the NZ Sidecar Grand Prix, all they worried about was the state of the track and how fast they could get around it.

One of the crew members who proved to be very popular was Alec Wilson’s daughter, one year old Maddyn who’s little black crew T Shirt reads “I’m the cute Puma”.
After lunch at Foxton the drivers loaded up their Stockcars and headed for the Square in Palmerston North where scrutineering was held for the 12 teams entered. Here, all the cars from as far afield as Auckland, Gisborne, Kihikihi, Rotorua and Wellington were checked prior to racing. Continue reading
