Surprising that nobody has mentioned anything about any of the entries yet in what is obviously a major National Championship meeting with a fantastic field.

I'll be interested in how the radical new BMW powered 19v rig of John Hannan & Nigel Sturgeon goes.

Well i havent been sleeping nor did my rear end break on eating lens pies ,mind you those peppery pies at palmy were good i can remember the late RIP Gavin Evert ,enjoying them when ever he visited the place .

Now i do hope Josh Lambert & Ange Pogson have a enjoyable meeting on the 26p side chair ..
Yes i can,t see why that BMW bike cant perform ,but one thing ive noticed over a few years of scooter riding is theyre quiet a expensive engine to tinker with and achieve a good torque rating ..You never know in this day of age there is always a person who can poke it with a stick and get great results ,so all the best to every competitor on the day.

12p Seth Hodge and his brother 21p Cody Hodge



Fifteen year-old twin brothers Cody and Seth Hodge will be keen to continue their phenomenal season this weekend at the Robertson Holden International Speedway in the Manawatu Youth Ministock Champs.

Cody is fresh from overall success in Rotorua’s prestigious ‘Ministocks in Paradise’ a fortnight ago, coming out on top of a massive field of 134 entries in New Zealand’s biggest Youth Ministock event. He joins the likes of former winners Jamie Larsen and Jason Long, who have gone on to become national champions in Sprintcars and Superstocks respectively.

Seth was also on the podium as runner-up in the second tier of Ministocks in Paradise, and finished runner-up to his brother in Whanganui’s West Coast Ministock Champs in January. Not one to be outdone, Seth bested his brother in the following weekend’s Oceanview 5000 for an outstanding 1-2 finish two weeks in a row.

Although the Hodge boys are always happy to win, for them it is more about finishing first and second in the same race. “I found it more thrilling how we came first and second two weekends in a row and for me that is more of an achievement,” said Seth. Cody echoed his brother’s thoughts. “I get the most enjoyment when we are both successful,” he said.
