The new clay surface at Finlayson Park Speedway at Dargaville did not disappoint on its first day of racing for the 2012/2013 season.
Although slightly greasy for the first round, the surface turned into a great tacky, grippy, track for the next four rounds.
The two contact grades, of Jalopies
and Stockcars, started aggressively with contact aplenty from the first round with spectators enjoying the crash and bash all afternoon.
Visiting Auckland stockcar drivers, Laurie Maber, Ken Tyson, and Lewis Hayes, mixed it up from the start and took no prisoners in their dealings with the local drivers through five races.
Previous CTRA National Jalopy Champion Chris White showed his true class in the Jalopy grade with his tap and spin skills totally annihilating local drivers during their five races.
