The first of three Speedway New Zealand championships will be decided at Fast Lane Spares Oceanview Family Speedway tonight.
More than 20 of the country s top Minisprints will take to the track to compete for the Dewtec New Zealand Minisprint Championships.
Based on a Midget chassis, the Minisprints are powered by a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine of up to 1340cc, and must weigh between 420kg and 570kg, without the driver. Wings on the roll cage and front of the car provide downforce, and the top cars lap Oceanview almost two seconds per lap faster than Superstocks.
