This episode wraps up a chaotic meeting (delays, tough track conditions, teams pulling out and returning) before looking ahead and around the grounds. Troy and Chris pay tribute to superstock legend Murray “Bomber” Hobbs, reflect on the new Maraetai track and its pace, and chat with Sam Hughes (Awapuni Speedway president) about their double-header—car numbers, championships on the line, gate prices, camping, and a Saturday-night fireworks show.
