John McCullum: Western Springs Speedway Manager on the final race at the stadium

After 96 years, Western Spring's Speedway's final race will take place tomorrow night. 

The Legends Night will be headlined by Midgets, Sprintcars, and other open-wheel categories. 

In October last year, Auckland councillors voted 11-8 to move all speedway events to Waikaraka Park, which will undergo an $11 million upgrade. 

Western Springs Speedway Manager John McCullum told Kerre Woodham their focus is on having a good season and sending it out on the right note. 

He says that under different conditions they could’ve have still operated out of Western Springs, but the stadium belongs to the city, and the city has made it abundantly clear they see a better use for the stadium.
