Congratulations to the Stratford Scrappers who placed 2nd at the Superstock Teams Champs in Palmerston North last night.

From the team: "We took it too the Giants, but couldn’t get the win. A massive effort for the team to come home 2nd, a step higher than our last seasons 3rd Place. Is 2027 our year? Thanks again to everyone for the support, the crowd noise was epic for the Scrappers all weekend. Massive thanks also to our loyal Sponsors, we hope we did you proud."
