I think the highlight of the weekend was the maulers/titans match that was some of the best teams racing I have seen, especially the smokey wall hold, and 7 laps down to win. But go the mighty young guns.

The Maulers Titans for 3rd and 4th was the best also good was the plate final and the final all three races were a huge notch up from the semi finals

bro mental's not the word F#%KEN crazy, back still tender 3 days after that green thing hit me.The big the positive for me was our team having only 4 cars going and taking out the titans like we did was just awesome just goes to show what we can do with the pressure on and back to our old ways of just smashing . ;D ;D

Wellington was full of positives for me
* $20 both nights * Amazing programme & a bargin * With good mates * Good atmosphere * 7 Teams races on finals night - huge thumbs up * Puma's never say die attitude in the weekend * Titan's v Maulers - one of the best ever * Zac Thompson * Peter Barry's blocking tactics smoking it up * Other teams like Tauranga, Auckland & Gisborne having alot of positives to take back to there club's * DHL tied in well * NO SERIOUS INJURIES
A great weekend for me and all my Palmy crew that was with me. Bring on next year

For this local fan one notable positive of the Young Guns beating off the Pumas in the final is that the profits from this event will ultimately (hopefully) flow back into upgrading this local club owned track/facility. And frankly it needs it! I understand the club pockets around $100K profit (grapevine) from this event.
In terms of facilities Te Maura simply cannot compete with Palmerston North. The proceeds from this show must be a significant boost the clubs limited kitty, so each additional year that they win, a little more loot can be allocated to upgrading here and there. Good for the club, and good for speedway. I pray they have some more seating in mind soon.
Conversely had PN won, I would be off to a classier track next year, and from a fans perspective arguably a better show. No complaints from me there. And the PN promoter would no doubt pocket more profit. Good for promoter not quite so good for speedway.
So next year, if the unthinkable happens and the Young Guns loose, I hope it is too a deserving team from a track that can benefit from the additional income like Welly has over the last few seasons. But if Palmy do win, that’s okay too.
