Pathetic car turn out

Should have gone to the wobblies

[percy]

Given entry lists were not published for 3 of 5 classes what were you expecting?

Sometimes you have to read between the lines with these meetings

Crowd seems about as big as the fields

Maybe others like myself didn't know who was turning up so did go along 

if they had advertised 12 Sprintcars and 20 midgets people might have gone

Wish there were 12 Sprintcars. They almost made double digits.

I thought racing started at 6pm - it's now 6.35pm and they're about to start.

doesn't seem as the meet is what it was as a respect to Mr Webster.

Thort it maybe had to do with a condensed end of season after a very poor summer. However, with WP dead and BP not running, most cars should have been available. Especially as the weather forecast was good.

Other than superstocks that were on 2 neighboring tracks, most classes should have had numbers.

With Huntly raining out last night, it would have been nice if Huntly decided to drop Superstocks. I am picking that didn't happen?

[screaminV8]

I think Huntly did drop Superstocks - unless they are later in the program. Support classes for the mods so far mini sprints and prod saloons.

I take that back. Just saw the Huntly program. Superstocks are race 16 of a 35 race program!

Mid night finish is better than 9 Sprintcars 

[pgbaker]

9 Sprint Cars is better than 8. Ryan O'Connor wins both heats but how come he started in front of Pickens in both heats? If he started in front of Pickens in Heat 1, shouldn't he have started behind him in Heat 2?

Quite likely you will have both.

Do they ever

[brickie]

What a midget feature. Mosen pulled mp in and left him. Absolute classic.

[magilla]

Sokol impressed in Six Shooter and Sprintcar. He showed how drive around the outside.

Mosen impressive drive in the feature to come from 1/4 lap back to pass Pickens and drive away to win.
Hope a repeat of that in Stratford

[accobra]

Another Great meeting at Waikaraka Park.

Congratulations to Brad Mosen on a great drive to take the win. Great race.

Great drive by MP to take the Sprintcar win.

[openwheelfan01]

Sounds bit of disappointing night only 9 sprintcars turn up all get 3 heats and feature. Mp winning by over 6s. Top 3 lapping rest of the field not exactly great advertisement for Sprintcar racing.

Well done to Mosen did he have quicker car pull in such advantage. i wasnt there pickens must've been top qualifier didnt have invert top 6. instead started off the pole alongside Mosen.

[brickie]

Mp led for a long time, though multiple oranges, but Brad took his time and reeled him in, put a great pass on him and drove away.
Looked very fast over the back end of that race.

The midget feature of the decade in NZ,so happy I was there to see it👍👏🍻
