Dont get to excited about the draw it would of been done behind closed doors eg RIGGED

We can't get excited by the  perennial, unsubstantiated claims of rigged draws. Please stop that BS nonsense unless you can CATEGORICALLY prove draw-rigging instead of offering your worthless opinion.

Doesn't Auckland normally do the Teams Nats draw on the infield just before the start of the meeting? Or am l dreaming?

Barry B

[speedinaway]

Correct Barry. It's being done during the grand parade.

Looking forward to seeing Jack Miers and Asher Rees clashing a few times this weekend hopefully,not too aggressively though 🙂

I would say the Giants team will be the team to beat:1nz Asher Rees,5g Josh Prentice,9g Jamie Hamilton.10g Peter Rees,127g Ethan Rees and 144g Tim Ross,there could be some driver changes in some teams with a new weekend of course.

Little things can annoy me, like eventfinda advertising the teams nats showing a large pic of streetstocks. If I was looking for an event I would pass on old bangers myself

They may look good on paper but the park is well known for those who hit hard especially in town bend and use there bumpers ..

yeah I remember race one lap one, cant remember the year, humungous bomb-dive at full tilt into that bend, great way to start the show!!

[knuckles]

Who can forget Gav Taniwha putting Kerry Remnant on his "rear end", car pointing skywards.

I remember one year Stieny in a borrowed think burgundy car, absolutely destroyed an opponent and himself and hadn't done 2/3 of lap.

Was that Huntly v Tigers 2 or 3 cars rolled from the hit...it was massive.
Definitely over aggressive attacking 🤣

I remember standing on town bend when Steiner went along the top of the wall and a Nelson guy as well, might of been Dale Ewars was the first teams race as well,one of the hardest hits I saw was also standing on town bend Robbie Mayby chased down Waikato Wanderer Jared Wade and straight lined Jared into the wall in front of me and we had to run for cover, thought he was coming through the fence,was cool but a little scary at the same time, also one year Wayne Hemi straight lined Tony Wootton off the straight,Tony got out of his car which was on its side fist pumping,he loved it, some great memories 🙂

From memory Mad Marty raced for Kihikihi and with only 3 wheels he was still in battle mode.
In the early years of the Teams Nationals the wall and fence got a real hammering.
The Tigers arrived with all the cars on one big car transporter .
The Scrappers also had some ring in's that are now legends in the grade.
The event seemed to lose it's way some where from those heady early days but Bruce working hard to bring back the appeal.
In those early heady years my brother in law would fly up from NP for the event and on occasions I've had Rhody [Phils brother ] Game pick him up.

[Jeffery]

All time classic

[tiroto]

Wow! That first hit!

[speedinaway]

This was a good race. All the action was after the flag. Last 2 minutes is pretty good.

I certainly never thought it lost its appeal to the paying public ,BUT to run such a meeting is a heavy financial cost as the ASSCC have found out ,As far back as i can remember when the Nationals first started the ASSCC Promoted the show ,the cowbells rang ,there was a north island select team ,i cant say i remember the ASSCC lacking in teams who represented there clubs.If anyone deserves a pat on the back it certainly is the ASSCC through thick and thin for the continuation of this meeting .
