A few pictures I know, but sadly it looks like the negative knockers have got their way and they'll be the last Solo pictures from a National Championship at Palmy for a very long time, not because of the track surface.  |

Bring back bunyan!!! Na seriously this form of speedway has a lot of history and needs to be looked after, yes I think should only be run at specialist tracks but i think it is worth persevering with as it has so much history and did so much to shape our oval racing sport in the early days.

I agree that yes there is a very fine history of Solo racing in Palmerston North, and throughout New Zealand, but personally I think exposure to the masses on well prepared tracks across the country is a better way to grow the class than retreating to the few bike only tracks and preaching to the converted. Palmerston North has over 50 years of Solo racing history including having hosted Mauger, Moore, Briggs and co. www.historicspeedway.co.nz/palmerston_north_speedway.htm |
