Petrolfumes will put the teams up soon, and this event is a MUST SEE.

1) New race format, including all 5 drivers getting a 10 lap sprint from which their fastest team time will be used for the grid, which will then be used for the 1st enduro race.

2) Most laps ever, 50 laps for sprint, 100 lap enduro & 150 lap enduro = 300 laps

3) Pre event BURNOUT PAD and available for a smokey or 2 pre-event, during the break and even after the racing if people are keen.

4) SVG, yep Shane Van Gisbergen WILL be at this event, and WILL be driving.

5) 11 teams !! Yes, 11. We have the most ever drivers for us and indeed Daytona Speedway. This venue is great, come along for a sossie, a natter and MAYBE even a drive if a team ends up in need last minute.

Daytona Speedway, 46 Sunshine Ave Te Rapa,

we are arriving from 4pm onwards, racing starts at 5.30pm.

Thanks again Gordon for allowing us to promote this via Macgors.

Wow !!

Pretty much all I can say from an organiser's point of view as to how Saturday night went.

The downside was 'Giz wasn't there due to some Endurance media he couldn't get out of, but with respect, the star of the show was the venue.

This place (Daytona Karts in Te Rapa) just could NOT be more obliging in helping us to make the night spot on as Smeats says in his blog (great pics and compo there mate) They gave us a custom format, listened to our ideas, suggested their's and to be fair, both 'Fumes and I couldn't have really asked for more. They increased the laps we wanted to do, used the event as an advertising campaign and even got in 2 race cars Dick Johnson XE replica Group C Falcon and Turtle Jnr's Stockcar) for a true motorsport backdrop. They also took part in proceedings as racers, and from what I saw from their smiles, were pretty chuffed with their acheivements.

Thanks to ALL the helpers, drivers, supporters, sponsors (Rattla Motorsport & Monster Energy), Media people and spectators so far this winter, night's like Saturday make it all worth-while and prove no matter what our background is, we all like to have a bit of FUN.

We ARE planning Round 3 if time allows Pre the new season starting, but if this can't be done, we will advise in the next week as really the countdown to Speedway season 2014/2015 is well and truely on.
