KAIKOHE SPEEDWAY (KAIKOHE CAR CLUB INCORPORATED)

Welcome to the Kaikohe Club Incorporated web site

A BIT ABOUT OUR TRACK

************

Kaikohe Speedway started in the Kaikohe District in 1974, on a grass track approximately 300 meters

along the Ngawha Springs Road (7 km from Kaikohe). Kaikohe Car Club moved to its present location

along State Highway 12 approximately 4kms south/east of in Kaikohe 1975.

The Kaikohe Car Club became an Incorporated Society on the 7th December 1976.

During the race season a standard race day can see up to 400 people through our gates,

however during a special or invitation meet we see numbers of 4000 plus.

Visitors come from all over the North Island, this not only creates revenue for the Speedway

but filters out to the wider community; Kaikohe, Kerikeri, Kawakawa, Paihia etc.

Kaikohe Speedway was put on the world map with the recognition of Florian Habicht’s movie “Kaikohe Demolition”.

This movie takes place against a backdrop of rural Kaikohe and Ngawha where

recreation is, perforce, cheap in dollar terms but where it is priceless

in terms of pure belly-aching laughter and excitement.

********************

Each year Kaikohe Car Club holds its annual Easter Stampede, We see competitors from

all over New Zealand coming along to enjoy the fun and competition.

We normally have approx 4,500 spectators and over 200 drivers through our gates over the weekend.

The Easter meeting was started when the Kaikohe boys, (Ray Makene, Ray Jordon, Des Trubshoe,

John Jenkinson, Dave Parrish, Graham Rodley, Mark Bullen, Whangarei Bruce Freese and Paul Pickerell)

travelled the North Island racing. In return the people racing want to come to the

Kaikohe Car Club track and race.

At the first Easter meeting we had 42 people for breakfast whom had travelled from

Stratford, Auckland and Napier. Just to attend the Kaikohe track;

The first meet was held over the Easter weekend, and this is how the Easter meeting started.

At this first meet there where approx two and half thousand people through the gates.

and the United Kawakawa rugby club did the gates.
