Streetstocks are now the most road like cars currently racing on Speedway tracks today. The cars essentially are similar to the original stockcars that began racing in New Zealand many years ago with an original donor car. This car is then stripped of all internal fittings and fitted with fuel tank, seat, and, roll-cage to strengthen the chassis while externally the car is required to have a front and rear bumper mounted.

While success on the national stage has been minimal for Stratford competitors with only 1 New Zealand Championship back in the late eighties, you will find the racing between local drivers is extremely competitive with spin-ups and nudging between cars commonplace (as allowed by the racing rules).

Common types of car seen on the racetrack are HQ Holdens, Valiant Chargers and Ford Falcons.
