Shocking how bad the scrappers were on the anniversary of 30 years, 99s looked scared out there, 28s showing up in the spare car, what a joke, really let down the scrappers legacy Perhaps a bit harsh, can understand your disappointment but they lost to 2 very good teams and didnt look out of their depth in my opinion. As far as 28s is concerned its his choice which car he races and I'm sure as I think has happened in the past he was picked by selectors with full knowledge of that. |

Commentary days someone was disqualified but crowd and cars made it hard to hear. Did anyone have any info? I sat in the grandstand and the commentary was unlistenable. probably the worst I have ever heard(or not heard) at palmy. complete waste of time.if a good commentator is half of the show(and I think they are), not having a commentary that you can hear, means you only get half a show.racing was good. gavin taniwha is easily the best blocker around. kings ,giants and eagles look smart.whats happened to rebels and ykato?drivers should have their radios in, would have save many minutes of phucking around, makes the show look amateur, watching one car at a time practice reversing ! Totally agree with you... the sound system was absolutely woke... Commentators didn't factor when cars come by the Grandstand Rev engines etc you hear nothing before the racing... timing was out on that. Question is there a radio channel that you can tune into to hear commentary and results? People around me were quite disgruntled not being able to hear commentary to put race results into their programs. |

Stratford and Wellington were possibly the two big underachievers last night - both had tough draws but from the grandstand it didn't look like either team had much of a plan or idea of what was happening. Hopefully things turn around for them soon. Really felt for Dale Robertson not getting away at the start of his first race. Waikato were well and truly outclassed, but that wasn't too unexpected.
Stand out moments were Wanaganui beating Auckland and Mustangs beating Rotorua - crowd loves an underdog victory!
Gisborne looked the best, but they weren't challeneged at all last night and had by far the easiest ride, so excited to see them line up against another top team tonight.
Overall I think that was the best qualifying night for a 14 teams format teams champs I've ever seen. Bring on tonight.

Yes, I was in Block C and I couldn't hear anything, especially at the start of the meeting. It took a while for everyone to work out they were playing the national anthems before racing started. Some people were standing, some were sitting, no one quite knew what was happening, because we couldn't hear anything. Hopefully things will be better today. |

Didn't feature in top 5 in next heat but Nore did the majority of the Scrappers. Putting your top of the line spare car into a teams race is that a sin. Apart from your gate ticket do you have a financial investment in the sport to warrant such a harsh criticism and judgement. |

Gisborne vs palmy Kings vs eagles Some juicy semis tommorow and to be honest best top 4 teams by a mile. Yes, definitely. Points = 350, 320, 310 & 295, for the top 4, then a gap back to 5th place on 210 points. The only 4 teams to win both races. Barry B No arguing about winning 2 and not making it then! |

Early start confirmed, racing to kick off at 5
Up the C
Must have been a couple of disappointed people in this topic yesterday, the only rain at the track was the sweat dripping off foreheads

Potential 4:30pm start tomorrow, announcement/confirmation at 10am. What.... Some people have plans and work Sucks that you cant purchase the stream and watch it later. At the normal start time I would have been close to being home from work. Now cant watch it all. Maybe something Videohub could improve on |

Apparently they had the volume up last night but lowered it at some point. Hopefully they can sort it tonight, but an FM receiver can come in handy for such meetings. The sound is reportedly never up to much in the main grandstand. |

Check out these race results at MYLAPS #Speedhive speedhive.mylaps.com/Events/2099920Hopefully one day all of nz speedway will move into the 21st century. I see there was a late DQ in the Kihikihi vs Wellington (R13) race too (after the stream closed down). 5W Keegan Levein was DQ'd from second place. giving the Kings an extra 25 points, now a 345 point total and only 5 points behind Gisborne's 350 (maximum score is 370). Wellington lost 35 points through the same process, with only 4 cars now scoring points. That is one area where the stream is lacking - and maybe for those at the track too, unless they hang around for awhile - and that's late changes like this. We didn't even know the race result was in question, yet the change to the R13 result almost saw a change in who faces who in the Semi Finals tonight. There was only 5 points in it. Barry B |

How did 581p get the extra 10 points when Ashby finished ahead of him? Didn’t matter in the end tho Ashby listed officially as a DNF. Barry B |

Ashby listed officially as a DNF. Barry B Obviously sat on the infield too long but no harm in trying lol Heard it was due to 38m not completing full last lap. When he rolled he crossed finish line, then when racing resumed he reversed onto infield, sat for while then looped back around 20m and crossed finish line again. Like you said, worth a try, and those 10points lost/gained didn’t advantage or ruins anyone’s weekend. |

Barry B So where are these decisions published. If you are just a fan and reliant on commentary and Facebook (which is pretty tame for good reaso) it is next to impossible to understand the what and why etc. An update of points and positions on the feed would be nice also. Sadly, if it wasn’t for guys like yourself providing these updates on places like this, the casual fan would never follow. |
