What teams will be in Wellington for the stockcar teams champs this year ?
How many South Island teams ? There was talk last year of a Christchurch team possibly wanting to race and with the car numbers skyrocketing down the South Island not just in Christchurch the southerners must surely be pressing for another team.
Anyone got any news ?

The title of the thread asks about the teams in Welly, not the 6th December meeting in Palmy.

There is a small piece on the teams event on the Wgtn web but it only mentions 4 teams. Have I missed something or has the rest of info not been released ? Interested in the format, how many teams and any other info. Thanks in advance

Very hard desisions with the explosions in the South Island for Stockcars. Blenhiem who stole the show in Wellington last year, proved these South Islanders mean business and I think that more room needs to be made to accomadate. I know the whole format issues, but there is always a way

I would love to see more South Island teams at the NZ champs. Would be great to see Nelson, Christchurch and Greymouth enter. I know this might sound rude to those in Christchurch, but surely the responsibility is yours to be proactive rather than sitting on your butt saying "we haven't been invited".

If you;ve never had a team at the teams event before I would think you would be waiting a long time for the promoter to call. Will be a big ask for the Woodford Glen team - have they had a teams race yet? There is some experience there no doubt - but going by local meetings they sure seem happy hitting each other at the moment.

Why do Palmy get the option of 2 teams yet wellington etc dont Marty??
12 teams would be indeal, I dont think nelson, greymouth and dunners will be up for it this year but correct me if I am wrong. Then you can drop the 2nd palmy team and have the Chch team in if they are keen.

and what happened to the Baypark Bulldogs, they were there last season to, put them in instead of a second palmy team Marty and the 16 teams you've listed look to be pretty fair in terms of tracks and regions

We havn't been sitting waiting . I believe that our promoter has been in contact with wellington and is still waiting for a reply . We made contact with wellington last year and only heard back 14 days be for the event which was not enough notice for us to arrange anything . I think we have made all the right approaches so guess the call is wellingtons to make now . If we get the go ahead within a reasonable time frame we will have a team ready to go NO worries there . We had teams a race last season amongst ourselves and have a teams event here Dec 6th . We also have a few guys with teams experience . Pooh Bear , Colin cameron , Donny inns, Warren gailbraith , Blaine blyth , plus others with a lot of experiecne in other grades .
