So Sprintcars been dropped and Streetstock TBC SPEEDFEST - The Best of the Best - 6pm Start Superstocks - Stockcars - Super Saloons - Streetstocks TBC - Golden Oldies - Midgets Streetstocks wouldnt have been my choice for the night - mainly because while a huge field is possible, I think the name speedfest kinda leans itself towards the faster classes in the sport... like Modifieds - we have one registered at the moment so there would be an H in all the fields... I havent seen a huntly registered streetstock in a few years now... Its also billed as a "best of the best" and personally I think streetstocks just LOOK too shabby... yeah its the end of the season so they have the battle scars - yes they have some awesome standout drivers... but they arent the prettiest class in the sport, nor the quickest! |

Righto... Facts time. Sprintcars haven't been dropped for Speedfest. (Not sure how they got removed from Calendar?) Golden Oldies - These guys are the "Best of the Best" of Speedway for the last however many years. As it is our 25th Anniversary and also because of the huge following these Guy's & Gal's are developing, we have invited them to appear at this years Speedfest. Streetstocks - Again, as it is our 25th Anniversary, and they were there at the start, we have decided to invite them too. Streetstocks have always turned it on at Huntly, so the "Best of the Best" are being invited to come along for a 3rd visit this season. P.S. Since when did being pretty have anything to do with being the best at speedway??? ;-) P.S.S. Entry lists, for all classes, are updated as Drivers are confirmed or withdraw, so keep checking our website. :-) www.huntlyspeedway.co.nz |

The 1NZ Sidecar of Paul Humphrey and Ben Franklin are fair flying! |

I do know stock driver not going! sorry saloon driver coming crewing on sprinter. I know it doesn't concern me, but anyone wanna have a go at putting that little lot into english. I'll start with Someone called Nigel is parking his stockcar up for the night to race a sprintcar at Baypark. Anyone else want to have a go at finishing it. Ohh Good luck at Baypark with the Sprintcar Nigel, hope it goes well for you. |

Nigel, I am leaving my stockcar in the shed to go sprintcar racing at the Mount.Lists...........What's going on? I have supported the club for 25 years but no invite to this meeting for my stockcar, saloon or sprintcar. Therefore stockcar not racing, saloon driver will be crewing on the sprintcar with me in the Mount.

Ohh Good luck at Baypark with the Sprintcar Nigel, hope it goes well for you. basically I think someones miffed at having supported the club for 25 years in a stock car, a saloon and a sprintcar {I thought dan thomas was the only huntly sprint-car in the last few years?} but not gotten an invite to race at speedfest so he's buggering off to race sprintcars at baypark that night. {I can kinda understand, but its a special meeting for the best in the country - not the best in the club, theres quite a few at huntly who would also love an invite but havent gotten one.} would also like to know whats going on with the lists for who is racing {they are updated as the invited drivers reply with a yes or a no. one disappeared for a while but is back now} |

sonic you know me well. rhodesta you are correct. sorry to all the train spotting ###I did not put a , where it should be. this site is a very negative speedway view. I think my year has been influenced by the postings on this site! sorry to my mates and friends in the saloons stocks and sprintcars which I have helped for years! I will try to help you more but just signed our sponsorship deal with another form of motorsport. I hope to watch from now on! Kerry brocas 21h sprintcar when I ran the first sprint nite down there!(photo in club rooms) first best of best. helped build and sign wrote tigers stockcar under secret from red yes I am disappointed but onwards and upwards. please can we get more positive outlook in this site and post what is the highlights of the sport not a whinge fest and English class. sorry I type as I talk!

Agree there srr , one thing you can always be assured of on here is the fact that there is always someone waiting to pounce on you .Speedway can be a very unfriendly and fickled sport..

Maybe people were just trying to understand the post, as it didnt make much sense.
We are not all equiped with ESP to understand what is in someone else's mind.

Exactly, and the explanation s/he put up was about as clear as mud as well. The one thing I did get was something like I type like I talk or speak or something. I can tell ya it would be a fairly short conversation s/he had with me but anyway onwards we go. |

It wont stop me from attending this meeting, but it is really only The Best of The Best Available in most classes, in my opinion. Great to see pretty good sized fields, but the lack of the Top Drivers in the classes compered to previous years is a little disappointing.
Shoot me down for saying so, but I will still be there anyway.
