That's a catch fence issue then isn't it? Not a lip issue? How is Palmy and Meanee any different then?! They are what every track should be (in my singular opinion). If SNZ said to remove something that other tracks had, I'd be politely telling them to go away and think before acting. As that is nonsense. Yep Barry, bang on. No bottom lip/camber means cars just go straight in and therfore suffer a lot more damage. As opposed tobeing flicked off at an angle and therefore dissipating the energy of the impact mire effectively. Palmy Speedway is perfect. I think, just like the rules for safety fences, a bottom angled lip, should be a SNZ prerequisite. It also does double duty in that the impact is more exciting to see, while inflicting less damage to the car and driver. On numerous occasions at Waikaraka Park we were instructed by S.N.Z. to cut the lip of the track to the bottom edge of the concrete ,so there was no chance of cars climbing up the wall .. Exciting to see as the car climbs the wall through the catch fence then into the bottom row of spectators ,just ask kelvin Gray nothing much he could do but hope every one concerned was okay .. |

Have always been a Rebels fan and is great to see our team will be there. Reading the stats on drivers it’s sad now only 6 teams but appreciate what goes in to get a team cars and drivers there. I can remember when Auckland could field 2 teams or north island select you had busters Wanderers Rebels Wildcats scrappers always Nelson Hawkes bay Panthers Wanganui even Gizzy back then oh how we were spoilt.

He must be well over 200.. I'll have a go at this! Superstock Teams Nationals Kerry has 48 race starts for an even 24 wins and 24 losses. According to Tim Savell's outstanding Teams Champs book at the end of the 2016 Superstock Teams Champs Kerry was up to 54 race starts at that event. I think we can add another 4 starts for 2018 but I can't recall off the top of my head how far the Busters went in 2017. But another 2-4 starts there. So lets say approximately 110 teams racing starts between the big two events. Hard to estimate all the other teams races he might have started. I believe there were other teams events when Kerry started racing let alone any one-off friendlies. I think 200 is possibly a touch high but whatever the count is it's a very impressive number. |
