Message from Management Committee

2011-03-09T13:13:00.001-08:00

The Management Committee of Equus Ruapuna Speedway apologises for the disruption to the 2010-2011 season. We hope to have a date confirmed shortly for our final meeting of the season.

The 6.3 earthquake on 22 February was a terrible event with Mother Nature completely in control. The loss of life and damage to our beloved city and surrounding areas was something none of us thought we would ever have to witness and remember as a dark time in our history. We hope that all our competitors, crews, workers and supporters are safe and well. Our thoughts are with you all and we hope that the recovery and rebuilding process hastens so that our lives can regain a little more normality.

Kia Kaha Christchurch!
