Superstocks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Previously known as A Grade Stockcars, Superstocks are a premier class of New Zealand Speedway. Cars are built from the chassis upwards with strong roll cages designed to protect the drivers. Weighing in between 1400 to 1500 kg’s with powerful engines up to 248 cubic inches, contact between cars can be rugged and is intended as part of the class.
Superstocks are the heavy hitting brigade when it comes to our full-contact classes. Purpose built steel chassis' capable of taking and dishing out big hits are usually powered with highly modified V8 engines. These cars, although weighing considerably more, can circulate Woodford Glen's oval track at similar lap times as the Saloons. Mostly built using special racing componentry these cars can also cost lots more than how the driver appears to treat them. Superstocks.
