In 1964, the Wellington Stock Car Society was formed and stock cars were raced at the track, under the promotion of Stock Car Promotions Ltd. The first meetings took place in 1968 and the promotion continued until 1972. In between, solos (conventional
motorcycle speedway) had made their debut at the facility, in addition to saloon and sprint cars. The track became a significant venue for important motorcycle speedway events. It held test matches between New Zealand and England in 1973, which featured the legendary riders
Ivan Mauger and
Barry Briggs. The series was described as being the third time that speedway had been held in Wellington, with previous venues being at
Kilbirnie (1930s) and
Taitā (1940s). It has also hosted the
New Zealand Solo Championship (the national championship of New Zealand) in 2004. The track today features primarily stock cars and saloon and is run by a selected volunteer committee. ==References==
