244 at entries close. Safe to say even with cars pulling out it will be the largest field for an SNZ NZ title in the history of Speedway. Billy Hickey wasn't so far off was he😁 Really? 250?? I wonder where he was going to get all of them from. I know it's easy to over hype somethings but geez 250? Hmmm 🤔 someone needs a reality check And someone got his reality check. Easy to why I'm getting outta the bizniz and he's not 🤣 Seriously tho that is huge good luck to Hawkes Bay and if I can offer only 1 bit of advice, don't try and do the grid draws at the drivers meeting. If you must do it on the day, do it as they pass scrutinering, but preferably days earlier There was obviously about 100 drivers who were in two minds whether to enter or not, then they saw your post Rammers. "Let's enter and deiliver Ramjam a plate of humble pie" they all said to each other, and did. With that amount of humble pie, you won't be needing Christmas Pud Rammers....... Barry B |

Make it 9 groups. Top 3 go thru.(27) Places 4-13 go into repo. 3 repos made up of 3 groups (1,4,7)(2,5,8)(3,6,9) Winners only make final 30. please dont. 8 is enough. Even 7 might be the go. Deff 8. Not 9. No please not. |

244 divided by 8 is 30.5. As it is likely some won't make it 8 groups should be enough. plus that is 24 races first night without runoff's
Then three from each group and 6 via next highest or repercharges.
Will be hard work, a little bit of luck, and perhaps a whole lot of team work/mates to walk away with this one!

Two reperchargs. b - 40 p - 39 r - 29 s - 22 H - 19 v - 19 a - 15 w - 15 m - 11 g - 10 c - 9 gm - 6 k - 6 n -3 e - 1 d - 1 the classic case of the future you travel the less enter. Lack of s cars shows how far stratford really is. Huge showing from the south. |

Or is that where we are at now? it means they will tell you how much they are charging and you decide if you're willing to pay it or not, exactly the same as would happen no matter who was doing the stream. The same as the promoter does with gate prices, the hot dog seller does with his hot dogs. In fact ya know what? If ya think about it long and hard enough you might come to the conclusion that's how commerce works. |

Has a 9 group format been sorted just in case?

I'd say its impossible for 244 cars to show up. But you do never know i guess. So no. 9 groups have not been thought of as a option. 4 to 6 cars have been added as well. So have lost close to 20 cars. |

what is seating arrangement, first in first served, hope no tarps or blankets, Rotorua was a disaster, with the majority of the embankment covered in blue, no a guy who folded a tarp under and wolaaah we had a seat.  |
