Our sandwiches are especi- ally popular as they have plenty of fillings and lots of interesting flavour combinations.’’ Many travellers and truckies make a point of stopping in on their way through Te Awa- mutu after they have heard about the great TC050209CA01 food and friendly ser- KIWI PIES owners Nicola and Darrell Liddington (right) in the midst of production at the Rickit Road vice at Kiwi Pies. bakery.

Arguably New Zea- land’s finest saloon driver Phil Towgood rates the revamped track at McDonald’s Speedway as having huge potential. Towgood was unfor- tunate not to win the New Zealand Saloon Grand Prix at the opening of the Kihikihi Speedbowl. The popular Whiti- anga driver — who despite the long journey, regularly patronises Kihikihi meetings — won the first two races only to crash out of contention through no apparent fault of his. ‘‘I didn’t expect big things at this first meeting as far as the track goes,’’ says Towgood. ‘‘It’s a brand new track, you never get it right first time. ‘‘It will improve each meeting, get better and better.’’ TC050209CT01 The affable Towgood PHIL TOWGOOD all smiles working on his Corvette in the Kihikihi pits. says he loves the shape of the new-look track. to use the high line settles better, the extra think it’s got huge McDonald’s Kihikihi ‘‘The little bit extra more. width will allow more potential.’’ Speedway is scheduled banking allows drivers ‘‘Once the track passing manoeuvres.
