LIGHTNING SPRINTS, ELLESMERE SPEEDWAY CLASSIC 2026

LIGHTNING STRIKES ELLESMERE SPEEDWAY, not via the weather but by great bunch of Lightning Sprint drivers, for the grouse day at Hazzard Countys Ellesmere Speedway, a support category for "The Hazzard County Modified Classic".
These may be small, but by crikey they certainly know how to get around a track in good time, ducking and diving, sliding and jiving with each other, great couple Heats with a Feature.
Its one great thing with speedway, its just not the blokes out there to fang it, the girls, woman also into it and thoguht would kick the video off, with one of the female drivers, Bonnie Sinclair. Not only Bonnie now ripping into it in the Lightning Sprint, but also her daughter Samantha also racing, but in 1/4 Midgets, then of course is Steve, who has the fantastic looking 82C Modified. Fantastic to see racing in the bloody of the Sinclair and throughout many speedway tracks in NZ, the girls are rockin it and into it.
Heck there is some sped and skill in a few of these drivers, the Brett Booth machine, by crikey it absolutely snots and he does it very dam easily, but no doubt busy in the cockpit as he lines up those cross-hairs and goes hammer and tong.
Cheers too all Lightning Drivers, great day of racing by your class.
