Two groups possibly 3 if extras would have covered that just fine

58 superstocks? Mean for a GP? Mean.
An abundance of stockcars over the 2 days. You beauty.
Couple of deck chairs up the top of turn 1 and 2, blanket for the kids to come and sit on when they get here.
Few beers while I wait,
Just come from palmy and saw like 70 superstocks on saturday and still excited.
Bring on the weekend!!

3 groups absolute max. Official entrys are less than 60. History would suggest not all will turn up.
one night meet. 2 groups of 26. Front middle rear grid draws. top 13 from each group into a one race final.
It is the GP meet so could be up to a format out of the box.

Absolutely agree and being the GP it has to be a one race final doesn't it?. Watered down 4 groups is simply killing the spectacle of a big event. By heat 3 of each group the realistic fear is that maybe only 10-12 cars will come out the gate. This meeting could be an explosive one night deal with full grids and a 20 or 25 lap final where every fan would go home buzzing over what they just saw. I certainly hope Meeanee doesn't do this with the groups come NZ time. |

Absolutely agree and being the GP it has to be a one race final doesn't it?. No it doesn't We see some bizarre decisions in speedway that make you wonder about the competency of people running our tracks. With 58 entries you'll probably get 52-56 through the gate. How anyone came to the conclusion that 4 groups was the answer takes an early season lead for "most bizarre promotional call of the year". The positive for Wanganui is there are usually plenty of other contenders for this award and inevitably someone will do something even more stupid by season end. |

Looking forward to a good weekend of what should be some very good racing!

All these that poo pooed all this,
2nd heats done.
Wanganui is just one of those tracks where 13 or 14 looks good.
There has been some bloody good racing,
Some good rolls, intentional hits, points are a premium with smaller feilds and the drivers are bumping and grinding that way.!
Lots of bumperwork.
If you ain't liked this racing then there's no hope.
Bring on the 3rd heats!
Not even one driver is certain at making it in at this stage
