A variety meeting is on offer this Saturday night at the Robertson Prestige International Speedway with something to cater for everyone in the family! Main event is the Peter Barry Memorial Derby Teams Champs featuring hard charging Demolition Derby car teams racing; it’ll be survival of the fittest, fastest and bravest to make it through to the final.
Peter Barry was a hard hitting Stockcar driver who sadly passed away in 2009. His humble beginnings in derby-car teams racing are honoured by the annual Peter Barry Memorial Derby Teams Champs, which has steadily grown in popularity! Each team has five Demolition Derby cars on track at a time, with a skilled driver managing to balance speed, hitting and car conservation to end up on top of the pile at the end of a tough nights racing.
The Manawatu Adult Ministock Champs will also be hotly contested, with local hard charging competitors Jack Lammas-Martin, Chris Round, Holly Lowe and Shane McEwen all in with a chance to stand on the podium for the title. Visiting drivers from Stratford and Wanganui will do all they can to take the title out of town!
Metal-crunching Stockcars and your favourite Historic Stockcars from yesteryear complete what is set to be a full programme of events! To round out a massive night of Speedway action at the Robertson Prestige International Speedway is an all-in Demolition Derby; expect plenty of carnage as road cars battle it out until only one car is still driving.
