Wellington
Demolition Derby
Saturday 26 April 2008
Pictures & reporting by Mike Pollard
I was on my way to Napier for a big Superstock
meeting, only to find out that they ran the night before! (Ed's note: was it wise to admit
to that?!)
So a quick hangar right saw me on my way to Wellington for day2 of the Anzac Weekend.
Apparently, yesterday's session drew only a small crowd (perhaps everyone was in Napier?),
but Wellington's final event of the season drew in a huge crowd of about 5,000 spectators.
Virtually every track in New Zealand was represented in some way or other, with drivers
converging from afar afield as Auckland and Dunedin. the ambulance crews were on high
alert, as the feature of the evening was the Demolition Derby, which attracted a mammoth
field including "Chloe", all the way from Leeds, West Yorkshire!
