RobMcCaffery Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I recently bought a digital copy of the Auckland-based New Zealand Herald and was pleasantly surprised to find a Speedway article on Hayden Sims. Good to see the sport does get coverage in NZ still. Article's also on their website: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11384426 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bavarian Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Where can I find the final offical league table of the 2014-15 New Zealand League? I think that in the New Zealand League they have bonus points for losing a match with six (or less) points difference, and also for the winning team for scoring six or more maximum heat wins (5-1s) in a match, is that right? One other question - I wonder why Sean Mason was missing most of the meetings this season? Was he injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyenz Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Did the overall NZ season manage 30 speedway solos only meetings in 2014-15? It would be very doubtful. There are only three tracks that run solo / sidecar meetings regularly. It is a minority sport here and the big tracks in the large centres run cars. Think Western Springs and Ruapuna in Auckland and Christchurch. When we moved to Christchurch in the seventies from England, Ruapuna used to run mixed meetings with Solos, Sidecars, Sprint cars, Midgets and TQ's (3/4 Midgets with motorbike engines) Once they started using a clay surface you could no longer turn the bikes. Christchurch is only 350,000 people but has three tracks, often competing against each other for punters. Ronnie Moore is dedicated to bikes, Ruapuna the open wheel classes and Woodford Glen Stocks and Saloons etc. The spectator base at Ronnie Moore is mostly late forties or older who remember Moore, Briggs and Mauger!! At least this year Sky have the Grand Prix's on live and hopefully they will still run the Swedish League matches delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyenz Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) That is great news re the gps - is that confirmed? They even had a bit of a write up in the April Sky Magazine about Greg Hancock being an inspiration to all sportsmen over 40!!! The first one is Sunday 19th April at 5am on Sky Sport 4.

SCB Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 The spectator base at Ronnie Moore is mostly late forties or older who remember Moore, Briggs and Mauger!! Which is the same as the UK too sadly. Sounds as if GB and NZ speedway will both die in the next 20-30 years then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyenz Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The sad thing is that young people in the main have no interest in the sport anymore. My kids love speedway. My younger boys are 12 and 10 and they've always come with me but my daughter 14 was always resistant as her Mum hates the noise and smell (My wife has many great qualities but how can you hate the smell!!!), my daughter came with me to the NZ Midget Championship this year under considerable protest. By the end of the meeting she was working out when the next one was!! We often take the kids friends and they have uniformly enjoyed it and wanted to go again but they can never get their parents to take them. There seems to be a missing generation that has no concept of what speedway is? In NZ you can't even blame the price as it is cheap entertainment. Often the third and fourth kid are free and you can always cobble together some 'Family Concessions' with strangers at the turnstiles if you are so inclined which will get 2 adults and all the kids in for about NZ $30 or about 15 quid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
