Finlayson Park Speedway near Dargaville.
The Dargaville Production Stockcar Club raced for several years in TeKopuru, a settlement near Dargaville.
In 1977 the Dargaville Production Stockcar Club Incorporated was formed and moved to its current location at Awakino Point, situated approximately 1.5 km from Dargaville on State Highway 14, the road from Dargaville to Whangarei.
The racing track has undergone major changes since 1977 when it was just a swampy paddock surrounded by maize fields. The track is now a small clay oval approximately 400 metres long with 12 metre wide corners and 10 metre wide straights.
The Club went through a period of uncertainty during late 1999 and early 2000 with the possi
bility of the Club losing the lease on the land on which the track was situated. Members reacted positively to this and bonded together with a good result in early 2000 when an agreement was reached with the Council to purchase the land.
The land then became known as Finlayson Park Speedway, owned by the Dargaville Production Stockcar Club Inc., thus making it the first Northland dirt track to own its own land.
The Club is run under CTRA and their website can be found here.
