Our Club The Auckland Vintage Speedway Club is for all those with an interest in speedway from the past. Whether you are an ex competitor, own a vintage speedway vehicle or just like dirt track racing how it used to be, you may find our club is just to your liking. We have regular runs at our own track which is located at the Meremere Drag Strip Complex in South Auckland. We would like to find a home for all those TQ's (3 quarter size midgets), Midgets, Sprint cars, solo motor cycles and side car motorcycles lying neglected around the country and see them restored to their former glory ( if not their former pace). What is a Vintage Vehicle ? 1. All vehicles must be recognised by the committee and if they are to be used for mobile demonstations they must pass scrutineering. 2. Vehicles built 25 years or prior shall be classified as vintage. Those under 25 years old and classified as non competitive will be classed as post vintage. 3. Replica vehicles are allowed only under special conditions. 4. Vintage speedway vehicles are basically scrutineered for demonstrations at speeds of approx 35 mph. The cars are split into groups for venues where unrestricted running is available (our Meremere track). Group 1. TQ's Group 2. 4 cylinders, side valves, uncaged cars. Group 3. 6 cylinders. overhead valves & midgets with roll cages. Do we have rules at our track? Yes.....the following are just a few of them: We do not race, we have "spirited" demonstrations. This is enforced so we can all continue to enjoy our cars without OSH possibly closing us down if we have an accident. There is a clerk of the course who will control the day, he will be assisted by safety officers and flag marshals. All cars must be fully scrutineered every season and have a safety check before each meeting. All cars will have a log book. Safety gear must be worn. All drivers must attend the briefing at the start of the day. Track day fees: Car owner $20, Guest driver $10, 1st spin $1 and each further spin $2. Plus bring you spare dollars for the raffle !!! |

For Sale and Wanted |
Info Wanted We used to be members for many years of the club but of recent times lived overseas Now living at bottom South Island. Built number 69 in 1960 sold it to Ted Thompson after racing it for about half season. Have just received some photos of the car from the son of one of Teds drivers Rob McGhee the first picture have ever seen sounds weird but true. Now surely somebody knows what happened to the car or any history. Ted is dead and couldn't help he also had no photos. I began driving at Springs 1949 runner up Junior Championship to Ross Goonan[what would anyone expect] guess all my fellow driver mates are dead now. Think Dave Lichenstein last one I heard of. If you could give me any lead about 69 Gordon Mc Isaac has been a help with finding McGhee Dan Peebles was the first one to drive for Ted there was another more successful don't know his name.

FOR SALE What I have is a one off Stealth copy chassis which I built with an autocraft 166 cubic inch engine with 320hp. I built the chassis myself as production chassis were too wide to get the headers past the frame. The car has been in storage for the past 10 years. Apart from cosmetic requirements the car is complete and ready to go. This is the car I used to win the north island champs in 1996. PRICE REDUCED TO $20,000. I also have my old Wilkie Challenger chassis, my spare autocraft engine, rear end and other associated spares. This was a former Carl Olsen car which I ran for about 5 or 6 seasons. History includes representing NZ and finishing second in the 50 lapper. $10000 Contact: Bryce Collings at brycec@clear.net.nz |
