Meremere Highbank Resurrection (Read 2,047 times)

I am hearing from different sources things are happening at Meremere that opens up a outlet for Open Wheelers to race.

Anyone got the full story?

This would be awesome. With the reality of Waikaraka needing to be banked for Modifieds and Saloons / Super Saloons along with having so many Sprintcars in the area we need something like this asap. I think the springs is a dead duck as the council hates motorsport.

Common sense really,no neighbours to worry about with noise,a real Motorsport area with all the tracks there already,a new high bank Speedway would be great for the sport, some people were talking about it about 3 weeks ago on Facebook that it could happen but haven't heard anything since unfortunately 🙁

seems like a great place great idea...although the casual race fans could be put off with the travelling It can be built into a awesome race track (will it suit the kiwiw kids or tqs?) And will it be under the hamilton city council not jaffa land ?

A perfect location just 10 minutes from huntly speedway.

Who would know, but you could obviously run all of the traditional WS classes plus Saloons, Super Saloons and Modified.

Would it pull a big afternoon crowd to make it viable ?

It didn’t pull enough last time to make it worth while , road is better to Auckland now tho

I suspect it'd need lights to be successful, or a new Jeff Gordon Turing up monthly, but could be wrong.
