| Waikaraka Speedway |
Waikaraka has been running the class full time since 2003. As such locals numbers are still quite weak but with the support from the other tracks means when they race their fields are good. Highlights for the Minisprint class at Waikaraka for the 09/10 season will be the minisprint showdown in Dec, a tv coveredged meeting in Feb and of cource the Auckland Champs in Jan. We also look forward to having the NZ GP at Waikaraka in the 2010/11 season.

| Huntly Speedway |
Huntly have had minisprints as a registered class now for over a decade. Huntly is a firm favourite amongst the Minisprint drivers due to its brilliant track surface which is rated amongst the best in the country and the clubs good meeting organisational skills. Huntly has been the main source of drivers in the upper north island but this year the numbners have evened out between the upper 4 tracks and there numbers are down because of this. Huntly will host 3 big meeting for the 09/10 season. the Hart Jewellers 30 lapper, Speedfest in V8 weekend and the of course the Waikato champs.

| Kihikihi Speedway |
Kihikihi is the birth place of the Minisprint class in the north island. In 1988 Les Bryant travelled to south island to crew on Mark Irwins midget. While down there he come across the minisprint class that was running down in the south island. he got back and started to build a car. in 1989 the class become part of SNZ and things took off from there. Kihikihi has stepped things up in the past year with a new track being laided and once packed down will be a very exciting track to race on. 5 cars are expected to be on track this season carrying the 'K'. This season sees 2ks have the minisprint GP, the south pacifics and the 2nd running of the Andrew edwards Memorial race
|
| Rotorua Speedway |
Rotorua is a favourite amougst most drivers. It a well run track with awesome facilties and looks after our class well. numbers have been low the last few years but this year we hope to have at least 6 registered drivers there. The track is a little tighter than what is ideal for the Minisprints but a drivey surface means passing is still a breeze. It not often a Minisprint driver will leave Rotorua unhappy which is a direct result of the friendly environment the committee have created. They have only 2 big meetings there this season with the running of the BOP champs for our 1st meet there and the annual easter champs.
|
| Rangeview Speedway |
Rangeview is grass roots racing at its best. This tiny CTRA track have been major supporters of the Minisprint class over the years letting competitors race at any meetings they wish. 91R Daniel Pearce is the tracks most well known Minisprinter.
|
| Ferndene Speedway |
Not traditionally part of the Minisprint schedule but that will change this season with the many New Plymouth based Minisprints planning on taking up the opportunity to race at their Friday meetings. Ferndene is big and fast and a place every competitor needs to go at least once. Like Rangeview Ferndene is CTRA not SNZ.
|
| Gisborne Speedway |
Minisprints are not a registered class at Gisborne but there use to be a annual Minisprint Invitation held at the track yearly usually in November. Gisborne has huge banking in the corners enabling drivers to carry more speed making it a fun new challenge for drivers. WE HOPE TO GET BACK THERE SOON.
|
| Meeanne Speedway |
Minisprints are hoping to get into the Hawkes Bay track for the first time this season in large numbers in what will hopefully become an annual event. Track conditions are generally good and the club are well known for producing good meetings and a $friendly environment for all competitors.
|
| Palmerston North Speedway |
Palmerston has had the minisprint class for 3 seasons now and will hold the NZ champs and NI champs this season and wish everyone well at these meetings. This season will see the biggest amount of entrants in both these champs than ever before. there looks like there will be more than 30 registered drivers again this season. Generally a well run track with some of the flashest speedway facilities in the country.
|
| Wellington Speedway |
Wellington is the newest of the Minisprint tracks, beginging this season they already have more registered drivers than any of the upper north island tracks. with them working in with palmy should see alot of racing from the drivers from both Palmy and wellington tracks. Wellington is regarded as the best sprintcar tracks in NZ so with us being little sprintcar should suit us. |
