From Facebook
"Auckland Allstars would like to ask any driver who has their car ready, and wanting to commit to this weekends event in Palmerston North, to please contact us via PM on the Auckland Allstars Superstock Teams page.
Unfortunately due to matters beyond anyone's control, one driver has has to withdraw from the weekend. Only those serious about this opportunity make contact. There is no car to offer to a driver, this is only open to a driver who has his own car and ready to race. Let's all work together to find help the Allstars."
Drivers, this is your chance to race for the winning team

Keegan Orr  While i would agree that Keegan is a darn good driver in the stockcar class , i think throwing a stockcar in amongst superstocks at a teams event is a recipe for someone getting seriously hurt . Some very good drivers have done it well in the past , but there have also been disasters. |

Whilst I agree with you isn't this what Dion Mooney is doing for the Tigers in 2017 Also Ryan Hunt did in 2016 & Gavin Taniwha in 2015. And tony (bones ) zendher 69s did it a few years back. With a set of Hoosiers on it and a few exhaust and other tweaks it certainly was able to do its thing. |

Bernie fox obvious choice well done for stepping up. Go well Wow. Huge commitment by Bernie to volunteer last minute. Especially in his new baby, the Lintern built car that is only in its first season. All the best to all the Allstars" |

Keegan Orr While i would agree that Keegan is a darn good driver in the stockcar class , i think throwing a stockcar in amongst superstocks at a teams event is a recipe for someone getting seriously hurt . Some very good drivers have done it well in the past , but there have also been disasters. Whilst I agree with you isn't this what Dion Mooney is doing for the Tigers in 2017 Theres a vast difference in teams racing experience between Dion Mooney and Keegan Orr . Doesnt the Peter Barry tragedy jog your guys memorys. All im saying is that there is more risk of a driver getting injured if competing in a Superstock Teams event with a stockcar, especially if he is new to superstock teams racing in particular. . |

All the best to all the Allstars" I heard he is driving someone else's car due to short notice the car wouldn't be ready. But a huge thank you to Bernie for heading down, and to the management of the allstars and team members putting in a great effort to what is the biggest weekend of speedway in nz. Go the Allstars!!!! |

Question which I am sure Madphil53a can answer.
Will Bryce be running the car with the 350 "trial" motor?
Given Teams Champs is not a SNZ sanctioned championship, I assume that's a rule/decision that sits with the promotor?

Yup, just like he has since the 2013/2014 season (so the 2014 Champs)
So this will be its 4th appearance at the champs.
I think 2013 was the first year a 350 was run at the Teams Champs. I ran my 350 along with Bryce at Auckland champs last year, same promotor so can't that as being anywhere close to being an issue.

Thanks Phil. Yeah didn't think it was an issue, but you have just won me an argument. :-)
Was talking to a guy who was adament that 350s weren't allowed at Teams Champs.
Wouldn't believe me that that rule only applied to SNZ champs ie the NZs.
