An afternoon of smashing New Year s Eve entertainment was promised, and that expectation was more than met.
The final speedway meeting of 2020 at Fast Lane Spares Oceanview Family Speedway was all action under the Whanganui sunshine.
Local driver Trevor Greig (81V) took out the feature event, the Charlie Berntsen Trophy Stockcars, but it was a team effort from his fellow Whanganui competitors.
Dion Mooney (6V), driving his 2019 car, took out the opening heat with a dominant drive, heading home Stratford visitors Kylie Symes (229S) and Corey Sutton (98S), with regular Charlie entrant Les Hepworth (22M) close behind in fourth place.
