The Speedway the Inside Dirt King of the Arena SuperStock Best Pairs, a relatively new initiative in conjunction with the Manawatu Speedway Club but proving extremely popular last season in the first event. Racers will be permitted to choose their own partners with the remainder drawn at random before racing gets underway, with already confirmed pairs including; Scott Joblin & Quin Ryan, Jayden Ward & Sheldon Arapere, William Humphries & Blair Uhlenberg, Brother duo Cody & Seth Hodge. Three races for points will determine the Speedway the Inside Dirt King of the Arena SuperStock Best Pairs champion and then, the Lucas Oil SuperStock Series 20 lap race will round out the spectacular SuperStock racing for the 2020/2021 Season.
The Stockcars will also hit the dirt after their Motor Machinists Robin Pratt Stockcar Memorial at the last event, and Taylor Lampp the new Champion will be looking to continue on his winning form at this weekend’s Stockcar hit out. The Travel Smart Seasons points chase will be decided and current leader Hamish McLeod will be looking to keep his advance on the drivers who are hot at his heels.
A Stockcar Teams race with the Manawatu Steelers taking on the Orange Roughies from Meeanee, Napier, will add another exciting attraction to the programme! With the Manawatu Steelers consisting of; Matt Phippen, Aaron Watson, Kyle Rowe, Jamie Tinetti and Brandon Jurgeliet these drivers will be in full teams racing mode to win against the visiting team!
Adding to the exciting programme is the AFC Motorcycles Sidecar Best Pairs which will see some of the country’s best sidecar combinations pair up and battle it out. The Robertson Holden International Speedway has seen some spectacular sidecar racing this season and this championship is set to deliver this high caliber of entertainment for the fans once again!
To end the night Fireworks will light up the sky in a fond farewell to another awesome season of Speedway racing at the Robertson Holden International Speedway.
