$100,000 playground fundraiser for kids with special needs
There will be a $100,000 target for stock cars taking to the track on Saturday - not for the drivers, but to help kids with disabilities.
Hamilton's Conductive Education centre wants to replace its 11-year-old playground.
Kids at the centre have a physical disability, such as cerebral palsy, and often "learning, communication or sensory needs", centre manager Sharon Harris said.
On Saturday, the Conductive Education Superstock Challenge at the Kihikihi track will try to raise $100,000 for the playground.
Ingham Hyundai, Wade Racing and Splice Construction are hosting the challenge.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
