The SunLive Baypark Speedway Demolition Derby will go ahead this Saturday after it was postponed last weekend due to wet weather.

Originally scheduled for April 9, the derby has been rescheduled to this Saturday, April 16, at ASB Baypark.

Event promoter Bernie Gillon says it's disappointing the rain got in the way last weekend.

'But the good thing is the forecast for this Saturday is really, really fine weather. We've also had another four entries come in for the derby. So fingers crossed we might even get up to 60 cars.”

Bernie understands some keen race-goers arrived at ASB Baypark last weekend to find the event wasn't going ahead, but says they turned to every medium possible to let people know.

'We put something on our website, SunLive, Facebook, and the speedway chat site. I did everything I possibly could to let people know.”

SunMedia finance manager Melanie Stone is looking forward to racing on Saturday night, alongside newly-announced SunLive Demo Derby Driver Doug Britton.

'I'm feeling a little nervous,” says Doug. 'But I'm trying not to think about it too much.”

The SunLive Baypark Speedway Demolition Derby is on April 9 at ASB Baypark. Gates open 5pm, racing starts 6.30pm.

Tickets are available from www.bayparkspeedway.co.nz, at ASB Baypark and at the gate. Entry forms for the derby are available online at www.bayparkspeedway.co.nz, at Flamecrusher in Gate Pa, or at the merchandise hub at ASB Baypark.
