Gisborne speedway cars will be out in force at the New Zealand Superstock Championships this weekend.

The two-day champs were meant to start at Wellington Family Speedway tonight (Friday), but rain forced organisers to reschedule.

The 106 cars and drivers will instead go head-to-head in qualifying on Saturday.

Nine Gisborne cars will be in action. Many of them represent a who’s who of racing in that class in New Zealand.

The likes of Peter Rees (10G) and sons Ethan (127G) and Asher (126G) will be serious title contenders. The latter has won the national superstock title three times, while Peter won it in 2015.

Other “G” cars are Sam Hughes (77G), Regan Penn (235G), Josh Prentice (5G), Tim Ross (144G), Brad McGee (96G) and James Clarke (81G).

The field has been divided into five groups for qualifying. Finals are on Sunday night.
