Stockcars

Stockcars were introduced to New Zealand Speedway in the early 1990's as a cheaper form of contact racing than the Superstocks.  Although the two classes look the same, Stockcars are limited in their specifications.  A Stockcar can not run race tyres, extractors, race shocks and so on.  They are also required to have a restirctor plate fitted to the carburettor to restrict air flow and keep engine costs down.  Ford Falcon 6 cylinder and Holden Comodore V6 engines are the most common used to power cars in the class today. Stockcars began racing as their own class at Stratford in the 2001/02 season and are now one of the more popular classes with 25 to 30 cars appearing on the track on any race night not uncommon.
