Both old and new faces showed up to play at the Kaikohe Speedway's first practice meet of the season last Sunday (October 5).
Kaikohe Speedway commentator (and racer and photographer) Debbie Beadle Taylor said the club is gearing up for another bumper season, with a lot of new cars and members expected at the track for the 2008/09 season which officially starts on Sunday, October 19. "With a very wet winter now behind us the club's projects and maintenance schemes are progressing well with the work around the track camping area, safety fence and, of course, the highly anticipated burnout pad," said Debbie. She noted the fill for the burnout pad was now in place; and said the boxing and concrete should be poured during this week.
"We are all waiting for this project to be up and running - it should be another great way to encourage members into our club."
Upcoming dates for local enthusiasts to watch out for include Sunday, November 2 - the first of the club's infamous demolition derbies for the new season,  with the second to be held over Easter Weekend (April 11-12). May 9, 2009, will see the CTRA, North Island and New Zealand championship allocations will be held at Kaikohe Speedway.
