Speedway fans are in for an action-packed night on Saturday with the rescheduled North Island Sprint Car Champs and South Pacific Super Saloon and 6-shooter Champs on offer at Baypark Family Speedway.

The North Island Sprint Car Champs, postponed from February, will see sprint cars from throughout the North Island competing for the title for the first time in the Bay for several years.

The cars will be split into two groups that will race in two heats each. The highest points scorer from each group will start on the front row for the 30-lap championship race.

'Sprint car racing is always action-packed and exciting,” says promoter Bernie Gillon. 'They lap the 440-metre Baypark Family Speedway track in under 14 seconds, reaching speeds up to 180kph.”

The South Pacific Super Saloon and 6-shooter Champs will also feature after a postponement earlier in the year.

Gates open at 5pm on Saturday (March 31), with racing starting at 6.30pm. If wet, the event will be rescheduled to the afternoon of Easter Monday, April 2 and updated on the Baypark Family Speedway Facebook page.

Tickets can be purchased via the Baypark Family Speedway website at: www.bayparkspeedway.co.nz or at the gate on the night.

Prices: Adults $25, seniors and children aged 5-15 years $10, family (two adults plus three children) $60. Children under five attend free.
