NORTH ISLAND STOCK CAR CHAMPS
46 cars from all over the North Island were whittled down to 26 finalists for 3 X 15 lap finals. The finals mingled with TQ's, A Grade Saloons, Solo & Sidecar Bikes + Consolation Group Stock Cars racing on a wet slippery track made up the nights programme.
The 1st Final ready to go infront of "Monk's Stand" The track was ideal for racing.
Steve McCafferty - 77G Ford 6. He finished 10th
The racing line was very busy. Going round the outside was risky business.
Brian Peake 22G - running a Chev V8
The "Pit" area where the crews worked hard to keep the cars race fit.

Rain delayed the start but the fans came to see the action and were patient here at "BP Corner"
Les Williams OG finished 9th equal.
Reece Lister - 6G Rover V8. flew into 3rd place in the 1st final. Reece was hindered in subsequent finals by the team tactics of the "big" teams.
Billy Neill 96A coping a bit of "payback" as 77G Steve McCafferty slips past with little contact.
Full stands from the beginning of "Golf Course Straight" to "BP Corner" Top action. Top night.
