Tubby Norriss Memorial Ministocks In Paradise’
Friday 11th February 2011
Saturday 12th February 2011
Rotorua’s SG Equipment Paradise Valley Raceway
Young races from across the country and getting ready to head to Rotorua for one of New Zealand’s biggest single-class speedway events, the 2011 ‘Tubby Norriss Memorial Ministocks In Paradise’.
This is set to be a two night meeting at Rotorua’s SG Equipment Paradise Valley Raceway and is set to run on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 February, with entries numbers growing over 100.
‘Ministocks In Paradise’ has become the premier youth speedway event, and in its short history, has grown from a small regionalised one-nighter to what will this season be the largest single class speedway event held in the country.
The Rotorua Stockcar Club has looked to evolve the meeting, with the 2011 running being split into two separate junior and senior championships.
More details, qualifying groups, and final format information will be uploaded on www.rotoruaspeedway.co.nz closer to the event.
