With the new seating arrangement I think this year will be a ripper, it feels more enclosed with a big crowd now with the new stands. I hope we get 8 teams, but 6 is good. Im sure the Teams Nationals will regain the glory it once had. |

Stratford may struggle after injuries in their team, Williams, Shearer & Johnson. Plus car damage..
Rebels - Orr needs a new motor, can it be fixed in time? remaining 4 ok?
Warriors barely scraped a team together for Palmy, will the same effort go in to getting a team to Auckland?
Glen Eagles - have they ever made the trip?
Lions - Unlikely.
Allstars - the 4 that raced against the poms + another. You'd assume they'd get a team together for their own meeting.
Panthers, Mustangs, Hawkeyes, Wildcats, Tigers, Busters & Giants would assume all be ready to go again.

8 teams would be an excellent count. We've had less than that in 4 out of the last 5 years www.percysnzspeedway.com/teamsnationals.htmlAs an aside if anyone has a copy of the 2010/11 programme please PM me. I need to know which numbers drivers were racing under so I can piece together some history. |

If I recall correctly the 2014 Teams Nationals rivaled Palmy that year for entertainment minus the atmosphere. I can't remember how many teams we had that season but I do remember initially being disappointed at the poor turnout of teams only to be overawed at the quality of racing/hits. It was a totally awesome two nights!!!

You have to be realistic that the seating volume at Waikaraka doesn't allow for that many teams. Panthers, Hawkeyes, Wildcats, Tigers, Busters + Rebels would make an awesome meeting. Also you are assuming that the 4 that raced actually want to race or just put together a once off??? Auckland needs a couple of fast cars, they did well the past couple of years as they had faster machines. Signs were good at the start of the season but people who said they would race for Auckland were picked for other teams. Maybe next year if we see Gary in a rocket and hopefully Carl is able to/wants to return. |

I did assume that the 4 would be somewhat available for the home event but as you say not every driver can race when us fans want them too. If Auckland cant field a team, I feel its time another track steps up and takes the reigns of promoting and organising a second superstock teams event. Centrally located in the north Island to minimise travel like Palmy. Auckland has always provided great entertainment however so there is always that drawcard for the event remaining here. |

Because if the Giants turn up it may end up with an uneven number of 7 . Just a thought.. |

Maybe Your forgetting the financial pulling power of streaming, WP doesnt need bums on seats, most of the country wont travel that far anyway, the faithful will attend to soak up the noise and smell of being live, the rest of us will sit at our computers and watch from the comfort of our own homes, my opinion is that it wont be a financial reason that limits the teams to 6 or 7 participating clubs. |

Streaming also costs extra money to provide, especially out of WP where there isn't already cameramen providing a stream to the big screen, so I don't imagine there's a lot of $$$$ to be made here. You won't attract Palmy like viewing numbers to the WP event, and won't be able to charge Palmy level fees either.

Peter Rees confirmed on the doing it in the dirt nz radio show that the Gisborne Giants will be at Waikaraka Park next month for Teams Nationals, him and the boys will be backing up from NZ Stockcar Teams Champs on there local. James Buckrell has confirmed the Hawkeyes will be there along with Carey Harwood who confirmed the Tigers will also front, the two Palmy based teams makes five as for the Scrappers a few wounded bodies/cars after the weekend so time will tell if the guys put a team together or not. The Busters, Rebels, Wildcats could well front so the possibility of 6-8 teams is still possible?  ? |

I went to the Auckland Teams last year for the first time and thought it was a better weekend of racing than Palmerston North a month earlier. This may have been due to the 6 teams who entered were all strong which meant there was no dud teams races as such. It would be a massive weekend if this years event was better than Palmerston North last week as that was one of the best teams champs in a long time. Auckland does suffer from a lack of teams being interested to enter but this is likely due to the fact that teams have had a massive weekend just gone resulting in a heap of damage, but also most teams are only offered a far smaller amount of appearance money compared to what they are given to attend Palmerston North but some have to travel 4-5 times as far (eg Nelson and Wellington). This seems interesting considering the same promotion runs both meetings.
