Baypark Speedway is gearing up for a fast-paced restart to the 2020-21 racing season.

The dirt track action will resume this weekend after recent changes to Covid-19 Alert levels resulted in a five-week interruption of the season.

Two meetings were cancelled leading to a re-shuffle of late-season speedway events.

The upcoming Saturday, March 13, meeting will be headlined by the annual crowd favourite Metal Man Recyclers Demolition Derby and Ramp Race.

"A field of about 35 cars have an appointment with destruction and a $1000 winner’s prize and trophy is up for grabs," says statement from the organisers.

"There’s also return of the big horsepower Super Saloons to contest the first of the BOP Championship events for this season with a line-up headed by NZ Super Saloon GP winner Chris Cowling."

The heavy metal Super Stocks will make their second Baypark Speedway appearance for the season this weekend.

"A strong grid of visiting drivers will join the local teams to battle it out in the Baypark Super Stock Rumble to be decided over a three-race points format.

"Stock Cars and Mini Stocks complete the race programme before the Demolition Derby entertainment gets underway."

Gates open at 5pm.
