Block Villa Wars

From former UK dirt track racer, Wayne Drake, who emigrated to New Zealand a few years ago...

Was watching an NZ TV programme, The Block Villa Wars (not my choice!). It's a home makeover show. Four couples get a house to do up and they auction them all at the end. They are judged weekly on each room makeover/challenge etc. The screengrab is of the host awarding points in studio. I spotted a poster I thought I recognized from a few years back and an awesome evening at Oxford.

 Keep up the good work. Trying to get New Zealand flat track racing but no success yet. 
Cheers Drakey

Ha! The poster is from our David Aldana Night and Short Track UK Oxford race back in 2011, designed by Adi Gilbert (before he became the artist du jour for So Cal flat track promoters).

But who put it on the set of a Kiwi primetime TV show?

And if you want to try get flat track racing started in NZ, we'll put you in touch with Drakey. G

Ducati 999 Beach Racer video


We told you about the Ducati 999 Beach Racer a while ago. Well here's a video. I think it'd struggle to win at Mablethorpe, though. Some of those fellas are seriously dialled-in. GI

Douglas

Now living in Bristol, I have a new soft spot for Douglas bikes. The red brick Victorian factory on Hanham Road, in the suburb of Kingswood, still stands. This lovely 1930 shot of Wally Kilmister is from the excellent New Zealand national library collection. Speedway was started by Ozzy brutes in 1923, then quickly picked up by the Kiwis, before being introduced to the Brits four years later. BP

Great clunkers





Three from Norm at Motorcycho and one from Captain Simon. Cheers fellas. I seem to be saying this a lot lately, but I have no idea what the top bike is for. It looks like a sprinter with those crazy low bars and Frankenstein pudding basin fairing, but it's on knobblies with trials mudguards. It's from New Zealand if that helps. The others are from Canada, I think. GI (a veritable mine of info, eh?)
