Well that's our 25/26 season complete after a sneaky trip up to Awapuni Speedway last weekend. What an amazing season 🏁 I managed to attend 43 meetings, I even got to a couple of new tracks, met some new people and made lots more awesome memories. It's hard juggling life outside of speedway sometimes but I did pretty well considering. The racing this season has been epic. I take my hat off to each and every competitor out there chasing their passion and dreams whilst putting their machine and body on the line for our entertainment. I cannot wait until next season already! I will be working on a special edit now so that will keep any boredom at bay ...so until October....Keep smiling and enjoy your off season.... See you all Trackside again soon 😎🏁
