One track, 17 race nights, running from Saturday 19 September through to Saturday 27 March.
Central Motor Speedway is the only speedway track in Otago, and this is its whole 2026/27 season.
The season starts quietly. Saturday 19 September is Practice / Greensheeting at Central Motor Speedway, a practice night rather than a meeting worth buying a ticket for. The first proper racing is Annual Burnouts at Central Motor Speedway on Saturday 26 September.

The tracks
Each page carries that club's own dates, the classes they run, ticket prices where we have them, and that club's own sponsors rather than our advertising.
Rain is the enemy
It is open clay, and the most common question in New Zealand speedway is whether it is still on. Put your email against the track on the home page and you will know about a rain-off before you leave the house. No account and no password.
