TAYLOR MADE' WIN IN SPEEDWAY FEATURE
Hard charging 25 year old Wellington based speedway racer Stephen Taylor put up a scintillating drive to win Saturdays Hydraulink War of the Wings Sprintcar race at Greenstone Park, Cobden.
A large crowd basking in the hot West Coast sun lapped up the racing with sixteen top drivers lapping the track in high speed action, with Christchurch's Jamie Duff claiming the OEM Audio 'Quick Time' bonus after recording a sizzling 13.8226 as he raced to victory in the second heat race.
The Sprintcar action got underway with the Time Trials with Nelson's Connor Rangi stopping the clocks with a lap of 14.0666.
Christchurch's Matthew Leversedge took out the first heat race, heading home Rangi, with Dunedin's Mathew Anderson in third. Jamie Duff looked to have shaken his recent run of bad luck by moving from the back of the grid to finish fifth, and then he backed that up by annihilating the field in the second heat, winning by almost half a lap from Caleb Baughan (Christchurch) and fellow Cantabrian Jayden Dodge.
Young Invercargill racer Jacob McIntyre posted his first War of the Wings heat win after a strong performance in the third heat, where he overtook Cromwells Nigel Colvin in the closing stages of the race while Dodge registered his second consecutive third place.
The 29 lap feature got underway with the sun starting to set, and it was Leversedge who made the most of his front row start to lead the field early, however as he approached lapped traffic on the ninth lap he spun out in the pit bend, bringing out the yellow light and handing the lead to Rangi. Leversedge was able to restart from the back of the field but his quest for his first Hydraulink War of the Wings feature win became close on impossible.
This put Rangi in the lead, with Taylor who had started from grid eight breathing down his neck. These cut cut a path through the lapped traffic and then with a handful of laps to go Taylor made his decisive move that ultimately gave him the win, from Rangi with Dodge third and Caleb Baughan fourth. Leversedge clearly underlined his talent by blastinghis way up to fifth.
Taylor celebrated his win with a spectacular series of victory donuts that sealed the days entertainment for the appreciative crow, but the Wellingtonian was relieved that he had managed to put in one good race for the crowd.
"I pretty much sucked at everything leading up to that feature. I was thirteenth fastest in the time trials and average in the heats. I struggled a little with the track, but you have to take your hat off to that track crew. They worked so hard in the blazing sun to give us a great surface to race on in that feature and I'm really happy to be able to take out the win."
Local driver Brandon Parkinson was happy with his days racing in finishing eleventh in the feature race. It was Parkinsons second race meeting of the season in his Sprintcar and he was up against a field full of battle hardened racers.
"Some of these guys have run close on a dozen times since November so I was a bit rusty. The pace of the Hydraulink War of the Wings racing is the next level from what I am used to, but I'm pretty happy."
Parkinson was also full of praise for the large crowd that attended the meeting.
"Over the course of a season of speedway here in Greymouth we probably have the biggest sports crowds on the Coast. There were plenty of Coasters in the crowd as well as several hundred spectators and competitors with their crews who made the trip over from Christchurch, Nelson and other parts of the South island. I'm really proud of the clubs efforts, and events like this are a huge undertaking, and everyone really enjoyed the days entertainment."
Parkinson said that War of the Wings officials were committed to making the Greymouth event, an annual affair.

The Racecourse Hotel & Motorlodge Ruapuna Speedway roared back into action after the Christmas/ New Year break with a action packed meeting which saw Round 2 of the Hydraulink Sprintcar War of the Wings Series being contested. The WoW racing was top notch with Connor Rangi leading the way, and action aplenty.
Rangi started the meeting well when coming out of top of the time trials to claim the Quick Time title with a time of 13.1794 seconds, just ahead of Sam O’Callaghan (13.3781) and Matt Leversedge (13.5343), with five other also in the 13 second bracket.
The opening heat saw Jayden Dodge lead from start to finish, to head home Leversedge with Rangi on third place from Jamie Duff and Jacob McIntyre, with Leversedge setting the fastest lap of the meeting when stopping the clock at 13.1470 on lap three. A strong finish by Jamie Duff took out the second heat, passing the early pace setter, Caleb Baughan with two laps to race, with Rangi storming home to claim third place ahead of Matt Anderson and O’Callaghan.
Heat three was a start to finish win by Stephen Taylor, who took of the opening round of the WoW Series in Nelson before Christmas, with Nigel Colvin in second place from Steve Duff and O’Callaghan, with Taylor increasing his lead with each lap with the winning margin over half a lap. Leversedge claimed the Dash, used to set the pole position for the top six drivers, ahead of Rangi, Taylor, O’Callaghan, Matt Honeywell and Jamie Duff.
The 30 lap Feature was only two laps old then McIntyre was tagged and spun out and on the restart Honeywell was forced to retire with a flat tyre. Rangi leadout from Leversedge with O’Callaghan leading the chasing pack of Taylor, the Duff brothers, Jamie and Steve. With a third of the race completed, Leversedge pouched on a mistake from Rangi to take the lead. Three laps later a three-car tangle involving Caleb Baughan, O’Callaghan and Jamie Duff saw the latter two drivers forced to retire due to car damage.
On the restart Leversedge opened up a handy lead as Rangi and Taylor were locked into a great dice for second and third place. As the 30 laps counted down Leversedge was at one stage over 1.5 seconds clear but then lapped traffic came into play with Rangi closing right up on Leversedge and then made the most of a lapped car to make a pass and take the lead with the leading two cars locked together until the final with Rangi claim the win and Taylor coming home in third place from Steve Duff, McIntyre, Caleb Baughan, Dodge, Ray Baughan Oscar Harcourt and Colvin to complete the top ten. The series heads to Greymouth’s Greenstone Speedway next Saturday (January 15) for the Wild West Shootout.

Round 1 2021-22 - Nelson
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
By Pete McNae
It's great when a plan comes together.
For the Nelson Speedway Association, that meant pushing on with a meeting when the weather forecasters suggested indoor pastimes were preferable tonight. For the stockcar and superstock classes at the Milestone Homes Top of the South Speedway, it was making the most of lower numbers and justifying their place in the programme. And, for Wellington sprintcar driver Stephen Taylor, it was opening the Hydraulink War of the Wings with a handy points haul, a second feature win on the trot and handing the race car back to owner Landon Dawson in mint condition, if a little dusty and with both car and driver temperatures near the upper end of the gauge.
Taylor's assault on the South Island series, with this round presented by Mike Rollo of Harcourts Real Estate, is no seat-of-the-overalls thing. Dawson has put a lot of effort into preparing a topline race car with Taylor supplying a strong motor and the talent to squeeze the best out of the combination. They tuned up with a feature win at Ruapuna last week but this time it carried more meaning, round one of a six-meeting series that has been won by the best sprintcar pilots the South Island has mustered over 23 seasons.
Fifteen cars fronted, from as far down the island as Invercargill and Te Anau, with a few new names breaking the seal at the tight Nelson track for the first time. Early time trials in the full warmth of the day (sorry forecasters, but you'd have more success looking out the window) saw familiar faces setting the pace; Jamie Duff, Connor Rangi, Caleb Baughan, Daniel Anderson and Sam O'Callaghan with Taylor sixth. As is the usual format for the WoW series, the field was split into three groups with 1 meeting 2, 1 racing 3 and 2 taking on 3 across three heats. Winners were Steve Duff Jnr, Taylor and Oscar Harcourt, another second generation sprintcar driver, who made the most of a good grid draw to scoot away for a flag.
The top six drivers squared off in a six-lap dash to set the grid for the 30-lap feature, Taylor sewing up a front-row start alongside Caleb Baughan with his dad, Ray Baughan, and Rangi qualifying on row two with Jamie Duff and Daniel Anderson snaring the next spots.
In the 30-lapper – still a long way even on the shorter Nelson circuit – the field needed Taylor to put a wheel wrong. Not happening, not this week. After Baughan had jumped him in the dash, Taylor wasn't being shaded again and led from lap 1 to lap 30. There was remarkably little chaos, Rangi ended up backed into the wall on turn 2 with the nose of his car facing the rapid traffic. He chose to bail and head infield, the race officials chose to exclude him from the results. Jamie Duff was out soon after and Taylor's only misstep came near the end when he got the car sideways on the back straight trying to pass Harcourt, which actually scrubbed off just enough speed to give him time to react when Harcourt spun out 30m later in turn 3.
Crisis averted, he banked the feature win while there was no quit in the Baughan family, Caleb getting past his dad who wheel stood the 95C car off a restart allowing Caleb in the 59C to dive by and secure second. Behind third placed Ray Baughan were Steve Duff Jnr and O'Callaghan as the only other drivers on the lead lap.
The only other talking point came around the lap ... after lap ... after lap completed under yellow as there was a trackside debate over whether lapped drivers should be sent to the rear of the restart grid or be slotted in where they were running in the traffic. Option A was the final call but not without some angst. Done now, nothing to see here.
HONEYWELL POTS WoW WIN
Its been a long time between drinks for Matt Honeywell, in fact four seasons to the day since popular Mid Canterbury farmer Matt Honeywell wheeled his car into victory lane at a Hydraulink War of the Wings race, but he did it in absolute style during round 1 of the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign which kicked off at Cromwell's Central Motor Speedway. There were 17 cars signed in for the event, with a couple of 'no shows' slightly denting the numbers but the show that the Hydraulink War of the Wings crew put on further showed that the series is, as one 'non entrant' put it "still the pinnacle of Sprintcar racing in the South Island. The Cromwell track team had their hands full with a huge line up of support races to cater for, so it was no great surprise that the track was not exactly in tip top condition for the BF Goodrich / Jacks Tyres Time Trials. Shaun Ashton put together another Quick Time in his Complete Automotive car, and he again looked strong, but it was a night of mixed fortunes for him. The first heat was taken out by Allan Chapman who made a sizzling return to the track after being on the side lines for a couple of months. Paddy North was second with Connor Rangi rounding out the top three.
The second heat proved to be a highly debated affair. There was little doubt that Matt Honeywell too out the win, and he did so by a handsome margin. Sam O'Callaghan was second across the line with WoW returnee Andy Erskine third. Jamie Duff retired with less than a handful of laps to go with a flat tyre, and WoW debutant Jack Brown rolled his car heavily, which was hardly a reward from the strong showing that he was putting up but the major discussion point was a restart with four laps to go when Sam O'Callaghan muscled his way through the front cars to grab second. Shaun Ashton was none too happy about it and protested. This brought about a protracted discussion and hearing, with local SNZ officials struggling to handle the affair quickly. The decision that the placings would stand riled Ashton, who decided to 'load up' and miss the feature- even though he would have been the nights top qualifier!
The third and final heat was a torrid affair. Again the winner was in no doubt at all with Alicia Hill running away with the win, from Caleb Baughan, with WoW returnee Matt Anderson grabbing third. Jamie Duff had looked like he was going to run away with the race, then with four to go he uncharacteristically spun. Fans were given a real treat as 'The Duffman' blasted through the traffic to finish fourth. Gene Spooner, who was making his first appearance for the season rolled his #21 putting him out for the night.
With Ashton on the sideline, this made Matt Honeywell the top qualifier and he made no race of it, working his magic as he sliced and diced through the traffic. Just as it looked like the race could go the full 25 laps , and with Jamie Duff up into third place after starting from grid 12, a couple of late yellows, for a Duff/ Whetu Taewa tangle and then a Caleb Baughan punctured slowed things up. Baughan had been running in second place and was looking strong, however Sam O'Callaghans car lost a brake component onto the track that landed on the track before being hit by Baughan, and shot into Steve Duffs wing. Baughan's car limped to a stop and his challenge was over. The hard charging Connor Rangi, who had started off grid 8 mounted a late challenge, but fell short with Honeywell winning from Rangi while paddy North continued his mighty form to finish third. The Hydraulink war of the Wings next appears at Greymouths Greenstone Park Speedway for the 2nd annual Wild West Shootout on January 16

DUFF WINS AGAIN IN HYDRAULINK WoW THRILLER
Defending Hydraulink War of the Wings Sprintcar Champion Jamie Duff may have notched up his 19th series career win in the Duff Motorsport XXX but he had to survive a strong challenge over the closing laps from Sam O’Callaghan who again impressed in the Freeman Motorsport XXX entry.
Although Duff crossed the line several car lengths ahead of the rampaging O’Callaghan, he may have been handed a lifeline by Cromwell Speedway officials, who with a handful of laps to go in what was to have been a 25 lap feature first threw a yellow light when a car ‘half spun’, then just as quickly displayed a green. O’Callaghan was one of several drivers to slow, and was in fact passed by Luke Keegan who made a late race charge in the BRT XXX but perhaps justice was served when O’Callaghan got by Keegan a lap later.
Just as the race was headed for a dramatic ending the yellow came on when a lapped car spun, and the race, with two laps to go, was declared with the track curfew having been met.
There was plenty of disappointed punters when 17 year old American Buddy Kofoid pulled with the infield with engine issues in the Ranch Bar and Grill XXX as the feature line up was forming and he was unable to restart.
Kofoid, like many visitors to the egg shaped Cromwell track struggled in his time trial and first heat, but he showed that he is a quick learner with a blistering turn of speed and style to win his second heat race that forced Jamie Duff to play just a supporting role as the young American disappeared into the distance. Other heat winners were Jayden Dodge, Duff and Martin Harcourt.
The ‘yellow-green’ and shortening of the feature were not the only talking points among drivers and fans with tempers being put to the test, not only by the stifling Central Otago heat, but also a ‘track imposed’ change to the Time Trial ‘ format’ with the usual ‘one car on the track at a time’ being replaced by two six lap ‘hot lap’ sessions with twelve cars in each racing not only the clock, but also a somewhat congested track for what is such an important part of the programme.
The biggest casualty was one of the favoured contenders Matt Honeywell being crashed out of the show when another car took him out into the fence. A somewhat disgusted Honeywell was forced to load up with his mortally damaged car being his only return for the night, and five hour tow to Cromwell.
The Hydraulink War of the Wings takes a two month break now, returning to Ruapuna, Christchurch on March 9.

DODGE TAKES WIN ON LAST LAP SHOOTOUT - Round 3 Ruapuna
Jayden Dodge claimed his first Hydraulink War of the Wings feature win in fine style after taking a last gasp win, passing Jamie Duff on the last lap.
Dodge had worked the lapped traffic perfectly. Caleb Baughan drove a great race to get his first WoW podium finish. Connor Rangi put on a great show running the highline, and had the crowd on its feet at times with his daring style. Rangi's 'show' deserved a greater reward than his fourth place.

SAM SLAM'S THEM AT NELSON
Top of the South Speedway,
Winton resident “Slammin’ Sam O'Callaghan gave his Nelson based car owner Kevin Freeman a great early birthday present when he took out Round 2 of the Hydraulink War of the Wings at Nelson tonight in the Lakeland Glass XXX. O'Callaghan led from the green flag, and was in lapped traffic by the fifth lap. On the tenth lap the field went under yellow flag conditions after Caleb Baughan rolled. Despite heavy traffic O'Callaghan managed to stave off several challenges from his uncle Jason Scott, who finished second, with Luke Keegan third

Winning Start For Duff In WOW Title Defence
Ruapuna Nov 10 2018
Jamie Duff made a winning start in his bid to defend his Hydraulink War of the Wings Sprintcar Series crown when he dominated the opening round at the Racecourse Hotel and Motorlodge Ruapuna Speedway on Saturday evening.
The South Island wide $100,000 series, sponsored by Hydraulink will be raced over nine rounds over the coming months, ending at Cromwell at Easter.
Duff, a former New Zealand champion, struggled like most drivers in the time trials to set a fast time which favoured the drivers that took to the track early in the trial with the Jayden Dodge setting the best time of 13.68 seconds with Duff’s having to settle for seventh quickest with a lap of 14:23.
Duff quickly turned things around when coming from near the back of the pack to win Heat 2, making the most of a restart when going from fourth to first in a lap to lead home Martin Harcourt and Sam O’Callaghan. Duff was untroubled take out Heat 4 leading early going on to win by a big margin with the race turning into a great battle for the minor placings with Caleb Baughan heading home his father, Ray Baughan, who had to settle for third place.
Nelson’s Conner Rangi, who finished in second place in the WOW series last season won Heat 1 from Caleb Baughan with Duff’s younger brother Steve third. Heat 3 was won by Luke Keegan with Matt Honeywell second and Dodge third. In the B Main, Matt Anderson (Cromwell) was first home ahead of former test cricketer, Nathan Astle with Queenstown’s Jason Scott third.
In the 25 lap Feature Duff took the lead on the first turn ahead of Caleb Baughan, Rangi and Keegan. Duff then opened-up a lead with Rangi press Caleb Baughan for second place before finial making a place on lap 6 with a big wheel stand then costing the the younger Baughan third place to his father the following lap and Duff was beginning to lap cars. By lap 14 Duff was over two seconds clear but this margin closed right up with five laps to run. Rangi then spun out when trying a pass on Duff, with Rangi’s car then clipped by Blenheim’s Paddy North, which lead to damage to both cars ending their race.
In the restart Honeywell and then Martin Harcourt were excluded in controversial rulings for not keeping to a single file before the restart. When the race resumed Duff went on to claim the victory from Ray Baughan with Keegan, who had one stage had dropped back to seventh place, stormed home over the closing laps to claim third place ahead of Caleb Baughan, Shaun Ashton and Astle. The series now heads to Nelson for the Round 2 on Saturday.
