Speedshow

Thanks to Lawrence McGrath and Gael Wilson here are some photos from the Speedshow at Greenlane Expo. Both had good things to say about the 'Waikaraka' and 'Oldest Stockcar' displays and the presentation of the Stockcars is setting a high standard for the new season already.

The Yesteryear Barn

Reading the NZDTR on Thursday night and I was really blown away to see my website got a mention in the "Dummies Guide to Speedway on the Net" article by Matthew Percival. Fame at last! Kinda cool to be in with some of the sites listed and I really appreciate the nod. On Friday I was heading to Paeroa and noticed an interesting building in Netherton, just before Paeroa, which I will assume is Laurie Brunt's Museum (also mentioned in the NZDTR in Robert Arnold's "Highs and Lows of Last Season" article). It wasn't open unfortunately but just a glimpse from the road was enough to make me want to visit next time I'm down that way. I could see three old stockcars from the front gate and I'm sure there is heaps more well worth checking out.
