We now move on to our international series, Which will have us start off tomorrow night in Palmerston North and followed by Wanganui on Saturday. On March the 8th & 9th the final two nights will be run at Stratford, along with the New Zealamd modified champs.

Tonight the team held a get together. Thankyou to Daryl&Teneka uhlenberg for hosting. The boys are all excited and fitted to their cars for this series. A big thanks must go to the car owners for providing these men with some serious rocket ships. We can’t thank all our sponsors and crew enough for helping put together this awesome series.

Hi Fans, time for us to grid up for the start of the OST Tour which is in its 10th season tomorrow night at Wanagnui's Oceanview speedway. The 18 car field contains six local drivers who will be joined by Stratford and Palmerston North visitors keen to strike first blood in the opening outing of the Tour. Three former tour winners (defending OST champion) Nathan Jefferies, Elliot Heron and Cameron Hurley will have their work cut out against current NZ champion Dylan Smith, also Jemma Barnes, Brad McDonald, Daryn Smith & Scott Mcintosh fronting from Wanganui. Palmerston hot shots Ben Vaughan, Daniel Nickel, Trent Leslie, Ash Emmerson & Glen McCutcheon will been hard to beat. The 'Naki' bring some fire power with Matt Julian, Jono Noonan and youngsters Mason Ward and Cody Ogle. The format will see four races with the field drawn into 3 groups that will race each other for points counting towards grids in the 15lap final feature. Racing starts at 6pm we hope to see you there. Happy weekend

Hi all, last Saturday night saw us get our first local championship done for this season. The City of New Plymouth Classic drew an all local 10 car field. The first heat was won by 82s Cam Hurley from 85s Erin Uhlenberg and 28s Karl Uhlenberg in 3rd. Heat two saw 12s Mark Phipps take the flag from 28s Uhlenberg with 38s Don Kuriger rounding out the top 3. Heading into the final heat Uhlenberg and Hurley were tied on 17 points with Phipps on 16 back to Kuriger on 15 and all four were beside each other for the final race. An unfortunate race start incident saw Phipps eliminated with a spectacular roll by the pit gates. This then had Uhlenberg, Kuriger and Hurley now left to battle out the result. 7s Matt Julian won the heat with a great drive from Kuriger, Hurley then Uhlenberg. Hurley won the title by one point from Kuriger and Uhlenberg. A good nights racing. Our next meeting at Stratford is the 10th December hope to see you there and we are off to meetings in Wanganui this weekend and Huntly the following. Cheers and stay safe out there.
