Around $20,000 worth of fireworks will be going up in smoke at Baypark on Saturday, November 4, bringing a full programme of speedway racing to a spectacular close.

'It's one of our biggest nights of the season,” says promoter Bernie Gillon, 'and this year we've got some amazing racing with the first round of the Burger King super saloon series, which will be televised this year on TV3's motorsport programme.”

There will also be $500 up for grabs for the best 'stirrer” out on the track in the stock cars – that's the driver who can cause the most mayhem.

'That will make for a really interesting night of stock car racing,” says Bernie

Classes racing include super saloons, saloons, stock cars, six-shooters and mini stocks.

Gates open at 5pm, with racing starting at 6.30pm. The public are welcome to come along early to walk through the pits, meet the drivers and get an up-close look the race cars.

A buffet meal is available in the speedway lounge at a cost of $25 for adults and $50 for a family of four, and there are plenty of food and drink options available trackside.

There will also be a kids' zone, including a bouncy castle and face-painting.

Tickets can be purchased via the Baypark Family Speedway website at: www.bayparkspeedway.co.nz or at the gate on the night.

Prices: Adults $25, seniors and children aged 5-15 years $10, family (two adults plus three children) $60. Children under five attend free.
