This season the Pit Gate will close at 6pm. Rule 5.3.6 of the rulebook states, all competitors, vehicles, crews and equipment to be in the pits at least sixty (60) minutes before commencement of the meeting, or in exceptional cases, at the discretion of the Steward and Promoter. We are enforcing this rule from now on, simply because we keep running out of time for some of the administration jobs that need to happen on race night. This year you will all need to have the Transmitter for your vehicle scanned, the information gathered from this exercise is transferred to the computer, the drivers meetings will start at the timetabled time, along with warm-ups and meetings between the officials, lapscoring staff and reps.

Due to the rough condition of the track,unfortunately the track was a bit bumpy for our boys to really give a fair account of themselves.Grant twisted his left foot in a rut,Daniel and Blair were getting far to much drive at awkward places on the track and Steve didn't look to comfortable out there either Jimmy didn't care much but he dosn't go as fast as the rest so I supose wouldn't.Wayne was the only one on my team actually enjoying the conditions as he showed in heat one when he supprised a fast starting and very fit looking Sean Cox by sticking with him for the 4 lap journey on a Laydown GM Kindley sponsored to him by Ronder Mckinlay .Daniel was having all sorts of handeling problems with the rough condition and Mike Robinson had to retire due to the injuries to his hand recieved at Invercargill a couple of weeks ago.

Heat 2.Saw Denny Hayward making a comeback to speedway racing in front of his home crowd he made the gate and looked very smooth and relaxed out there but admitted to me later he wasn't on a bike supplied by Oval Racings Kiwi-League promoter as his newley aquired Laydown GM engine is away at Harold Sagents getting fresh.Grant put in workman like effort with a twisted ankle due to one of the rutts to fend off a hard charging Mark Skilling to take second by a wisker over the line.

Heat 3.Wayne Nutteridge very impressive over Kevin Ryan and Kenny Williams picking up a bonus point there.

heat 4.Sean  Cox was outta there Blair picked up second and Daniel picked up the bonus there.More Stockeys the track got even worse so after a test  race between Sean Cox Wayne Nutteridge Jimmy Prenergast and Kevin Ryan the Two captains decided the track wasn't in good enough shape to get the close hard racing we have we have been getting through this competition hopefully we get another go up there with a good track and we get all over and done before the stockies come on so we can put on a good show but a big thanks to Nelson  Speedway and the SNZ officals.
