Inflation 😔
The smell of that first kick off, the sound of the engines roaring and the crowd watching in anticipation as the first race begins. Eyes fixated on the race, the oohhs and aahhs when you see/hear the first crunch of the night, and the cheering as the driver gets out and is fine.
So the time has come. No longer an inexpensive and great way to pass a spring/summer/autumn night. Adored by many children and inspiring drivers.
The price has gone up, out of reach of many, especially the young, keeping them out of trouble and off the streets for a night of fun filled adrenaline.
We will miss you Meeanee Speedway.
We just cannot afford to visit you like we did the past few years.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
