Finale of the Holden Trade Club Saloon Speedweek
Come along to the finale of the Holden Trade Club Saloon Speedweek presented by Valvoline.
When: Saturday, December 8 - Gates open at 4pm racing starts at 6pm.
Where: 7 Sandflat Rd, Cromwell
After an intense week of five meetings it comes down to this, the sixth and final meeting to decide the overall winner from 24 of the country’s best saloon drivers – 8 from the North Island and 16 from the South Island including Heavy Trax Central Motor Speedway ‘t’ driver Ivan Murdoch(7t), Phil Burgess(15t), Graham Williamson(21t) and Barry Taylor(28t). Low, wide and loud, saloons are thoroughbred race cars with sophisticated space frame chassis and full race V8’s churning out around 400hp.
Visiting class: V8 Modifieds – a cross between a saloon and sprintcar – launch the 2018-19 Mainland Modified Series. Fast and furious, one small mistake can send them rolling along the clay like metal tumbleweed.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.6% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
