I don't know how close Wanganui were to getting a team together, but if I was in charge of this meeting I'd have been on the phone to them every day leading up to their decision to not attend offering all sorts of inducements on the quiet to get them there.

Who knows that may have been done. I would hope so.

Wanganui was close to getting a team, but not close enough. We've got a crop of young drivers who will be outstanding teams racers in the future, but not quite in 2020. Having two SNZ championships in the class in the South Island also had a significant effect on budgets for the season, and Wanganui was well represented at both, finishing second and third in the GP. There's a changing of the guard going on at the moment from the likes of Mooney (D), Potaka and Lockett, but there's plenty to be excited about for future seasons.

As I've said before, if you're happy with mediocrity then knock yerself out, enjoy. It'already a small event with naff all pre meet hype and excitement around it, and they do silly things like this that don't encourage any excitement.

and that ladies and gents is why speedway will never be as good as it could be. I'm surprised you left out the normal bit about "If you think you can do better..."

Instead of 100% of the $140 thru the gate they will get their cut of tonight's live stream. I realise I'm prob on my own in doing that but I shake my head at those who think mediocrity is no way to move the sport forwards.
