Petrol heads are gearing up for a massive weekend of speedway action as the New Zealand TQ Championships gets underway in Nelson.
With racing on Friday and Saturday night to decide the next NZ1, two and three TQ Midget champions, it’s been a busy week of build-up for the region.
As part of the excitement, Armadillos hosted a competition where entrants raced to take apart and reassemble the front end of a TQ Midget.
A large crowd packed out the venue to watch some of New Zealand’s best racers test themselves with their mechanical engineering knowledge off the track.
Taking about five minutes to complete, two-person teams were battling it out for a first-place prize of a rear SD 33 tyre, with second and third place winning $50 vouchers.
It was also a chance for fans to rub shoulders with some of the fastest racers in the country.
In attendance were the 1NZ, Aaron Humble, 2NZ, Kayden Barker, and 3NZ, Terence Dorrell.
