Good morning Sunners looking for something exciting to do? Then why not head down to Baypark tonight for the thrills and spills of the speedway.

Baypark Family Speedway will turn back the clock tonight with the welcome return of the Street Stocks.

Event promoter Bernie Gillon says he's had a great response from competitors wanting to take part in Saturday's race. It's been about 12 years since the street stocks last raced at Baypark.

'They're exciting, they're a hell-of-a-lot of fun, hilarious to watch racing. At this point we've got 23 entries put forward already and they're coming from Gisborne, Napier, Rotorua, Kihikihi and Auckland.

'We're absolutely turning back the clock. It's going to be a really exciting night of racing.”

Bernie says they have a top class line-up of drivers for the street stocks.

'We've got the current New Zealand champion Aaron Brown, he is from Gisborne and the current number three NZ Darren Melling and he's from Napier.”

Along with the street stocks, Bernie says the meet will also feature the champion of champion sprint cars, saloon cars, stock cars, the six shooters and mini stocks.

'So we've got a very full programme.”

Bernie says come early and enjoy a buffet meal and a drink in the Stadium Lounge and walk through the pits, meet the drivers and see the race cars up close before they take to the track.

The Baypark Family Speedway Street Stock Invasion is on February 20 at the ASB Stadium at Baypark. Gates open 5pm. Tickets range from $10-$50. For more information, visit www.bayparkspeedway.co.nz
