2 tracks, 24 race nights, running from Saturday 17 October through to Sunday 28 March.
Baypark Speedway and TWS Paradise Valley Speedway between them make the Bay of Plenty one of the busier parts of the country for speedway, and this is the whole season at both.
The season starts quietly. Saturday 17 October is Practice at Baypark Speedway, a practice night rather than a meeting worth buying a ticket for. The first proper racing is Bay Opening Extravaganza at Baypark Speedway on Saturday 24 October.

Baypark Speedway and TWS Paradise Valley Speedway
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
These are open clay tracks, and the most common question in New Zealand speedway is whether it is still on. Put your email against either track on the home page and you will know about a rain-off before you leave the house. No account and no password.
