Due to lack of numbers midgets will not be racing at Harrisville on Easter Sunday therefore we will be now be running Minisprints.

Disappointed to hear that midgets won't be running. Any idea why a lack of numbers - are they running elsewhere, or don't they know what they'll be missing by not being there. If the minisprints turn up in the numbers that were at the rained out Manawatu champs then they'll put on a good show.

Wether that happens remains to be seen, with Ferndene Speedway running the CTRA North Island Minisprint Champs and The NZ Minisprint Grand Prix on the Saturday,(when this was programmed both Harrisville and Rotorua werent running minisprints) and Rotorua also running on Easter Saturday will be a big ask. |

Sounds like Harrisville were hoping for a better response from the minisprints than they got from the midgets, but maybe that's not going to happen either.

Racerman you said that Rotorua were not running minisprints on Saturday night,minisprints have always raced on Easter Saturday.Maybe Ferndene should run the C T R A champs on Easter Friday.I thought Rangeview had the C T R A champs for minisprints?

If plan B doesn't work out I reckon Saloons or Supersaloons would be a good spectacle around Harrisville. Maybe plan C could be one of them.

Apparently When promotion of Ferndene looked up Rotorua @ Easter minisprints where dated as Friday,(I understand this was done quite early in the season , I was not party to it) RangeView apparently handed the Minisprint title in as they didnt want to run it, Ferndene is already got a ministock deal for Friday.so no room for Minisprints Harrrisville when contacted by one of our drivers stated they wouldnot be running minisprints @ Harrisville Easter, but that has now changed |

Apparently When promotion of Ferndene looked up Rotorua @ Easter minisprints where dated as Friday,(I understand this was done quite early in the season , I was not party to it) Rotorua has never raced on Good Friday and this seasons calendar was never scheduled to race on that day. Dates for Easter this season are: Saturday 11th April and Sunday 12th April. |

At this point we have had 4 midget entries. You can't run a meeting with only 4 cars. Canvassed at Meanee on Saturday night and had no interest at all. So we had to make a decision as to what to do as we didn't want to disapoint the crowd. You would think with $4k up for grabs we would have had plenty of entries. As we fund this meeting out of our own pockets with a sponsor sponsoring the midget race the sponsor themselves also was disappointed with the entries, but was keen to sponsor the minisprints as they all seem really keen to come. Two days of racing has got to be good. So come on Minisprints give us a ring with your details so we can add you to the entry list. Fax 03 3293462 or a/fone 06 3296464

Hope it all comes together for Harrisville. I have a brother coming up from the SI for Easter and I told him I would take him out to see some racing, he's really looking forward to it.
