The roar of over 50 Superstocks took over Stratford Speedway with all competitors vying to win the NZ Superstock Grand Prix or the second tier, King of the Mountain Title.
Cars were split into three groups on Friday to gain as many points as possible over three rounds of racing.
Saturday night started with two repechages to find the last two qualifiers. These races are a last chance for non-qualifiers to make it into the finals. Chad Ace (4p) and Carl Shearer (75s) won and proceeded to the finals. Local competitor Nik Kiser (5s) advanced to the finals when Scott Tennant (29a) withdrew with engine issues.
The three final heats were some of the most action-packed racing Stratford has seen. After the second heat Scott Joblin (54p) lead with 51 points, Dale Robertson (89w), Graeme Barr (3NZ) and Peter Bengston (58p) all second equal on 43 points, and Carl Shearer third on 37.
The third heat was all or nothing for drivers; 15 laps of thundering Superstocks had the crowd on their feet, screaming for their favourite drivers.
