christchurch and stratford 1 and 2 in midgets. sth island modified sprints seem to have the goods over nth island minisprints,and are probably cheaper .....food for thought? brad lane dominant in modifieds,hope he didnt kill his engine in the last two laps of the feature. two meetings in two days with no hotdog class....

Interesting scenario about the Mini sprints versus Modified sprints.Mini sprints started in the South island many decades ago boomed along for a few years.Then some Aucklanders went to the USA brought back a couple of Modified Sprints (motor cycle engine powered ones) and the class was started.There were car engine ones running in the Waikato at that time.While down in Christchurch some motor cycle ones arrived and both power units ran together.A few seasons later the Modified sprints proved they were faster and cheaper to run and so the demise of car engine ones in the South.While this was going on the Modified sprints folded in the North island and were taken over by Mini sprints.Strange things happen in the World of Speedway.

Not often I get the chance to take a post race group shot (what with it being dark and all) so I took this one today.  |

Pure class from jmac on commenting around Dean shadbolts crash on his fb feed.
The more you hear from Jamie the more you realise he is one of the true gentlemen of the sprintcar class.
Way to go jmac.
Wishing Dean a speedy recovery.
