Check out what's happening at the Waikaraka speedway this summer
Waikaraka Park Family Speedway is gearing up for a hot summer of major events over the holiday period.
After a setback at the beginning of the season, the speedway club, Auckland Council and Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board have worked together to place nearly 2,000 high quality stadium seats around the track at great spectator viewing points close to the action.
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board chair Simon Randall says the speedway is a key summer attraction for locals and visitors to the area.
“We’re pleased to be working closely with the club to ensure the series is as successful as ever. The recent closure of the permanent stand for safety issues was a significant stumbling block, but the cooperative approach in providing extra seating has delivered a great result for the season ahead."
The seating will be in place ahead of Christmas and ready to go for this summer’s major events. Gates open at 5pm and racing starts at 7pm.

- ‘Saloon Speedweek’ on December 29
