2 tracks, 24 race nights, running from Saturday 10 October through to Saturday 17 April.
Huntly Placemakers Speedway and McDonald's Kihikihi Speedway between them make the Waikato one of the busier parts of the country for speedway, and this is the whole season at both.
The season starts quietly. Saturday 10 October is Practice 1 & 2 at Huntly Placemakers Speedway, a practice night rather than a meeting worth buying a ticket for. The first proper racing is Fireworks Opening Meeting at McDonald's Kihikihi Speedway on Saturday 31 October.

The tracks
Huntly Placemakers Speedway and McDonald's Kihikihi 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.
