It started out as an idea discussed over a few beers in the Hawke's Bay Speedway Club's Meeanee clubrooms.
Eight days later, Saturday night to be precise, the Hawke's Bay Hornets Superstock team of Jarrod Lindsay, Quinn Ryan, Mac Kwok and Hawke's Bay Magpies rugby prop Jason Long took to the track and upset the Hawke's Bay Hawkeyes. It may have been the club's 50th anniversary meeting but this quartet, all of whom are aged under-26, stole the limelight from their more experienced opponents Steve Jude, Regan O'Brien, Thomas Stanaway and Quentin Butcher.
Their hits were more spectacular than those produced by the Hawkeyes.
Ryan's rolling of Stanaway and Lindsay's of Butcher were particularly memorable.
"Words can't describe this. You can win races, you can win championships but nothing beats winning a teams race with three mates," Lindsay said after securing the victory.
