The countdown to the 1nz continues!

🔥 THE FABULOUS 1 – TONY FABISH 🔥
Two eras. One icon.

Tony “Fabulous” Fabish carved his name into New Zealand speedway history with not one, but two New Zealand Midget Championships — first in 1995/96, and again a decade later in 2005/06. A rare achievement that proved what everyone already knew: true class never fades.

His résumé tells the story of a driver built for the big stage:
🏆 1st – NZ Midget Championship (1995/96, 2005/06)
🥉 3rd – NZ Midget Championship (1991/92, 2007/08)
🥈 2nd – NZ North Island Championship (1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95)

The poster below continues the legacy — and the fun — of that famous orange machine that rolled into stadiums across the country and rang the bell every time it appeared, announcing that “The Fabulous One” had entered the ring. Look closely and you’ll spot a background packed with Te Awamutu gems — how many can you find? 👀🏁

Fans felt it. Rivals knew it. The atmosphere changed.

Tony Fabish was more than just a champion racer. He was a respected driver, competitor, and all-round character — complete with a wicked moustache and a bold, aggressive racing style that was fast, calculated, and fearless when it mattered most. His two national titles helped cement midget cars as a cornerstone of the Kihikihi Speedway programme, paving the way for generations to come.

And the legacy lives on.🏆

That same Fabish DNA now charges forward through his son, former 3NZ Mitch Fabish, who has been turning heads this season in the lead-up to the New Zealand Championship at Baypark. Mitch has already claimed:
🏁 Opening night feature win at Baypark
🏁 Feature victory at Palmerston North
🏁 Consistent front-running performances all season

⭐If Tony was “Mr Fabulous”, then Mitch may well be “The Master Fantastic.”
The name lives on. The standard remains. 🏁

⭐ The Countdown to the 1NZ cont......

⭐10 days to go! and 10 🏆 won

Michael Pickens

Just take a look at this — what a collection. 🏁
Eleven 1NZ cars representing Michael Pickens’ ten New Zealand Championships, a legacy few will ever match.

We’ve even included the iconic car he raced in the States, proudly carrying the names of fans on the side — a true reminder of the support that follows him wherever he goes.

Unfortunately, MP won’t be lining up at this year’s New Zealand Championship, as he’ll instead be chasing a Golden Driller at the Tulsa Chili Bowl, flying the New Zealand flag on the world stage of midget racing.

Best of luck over there, Michael — we’ll be cheering you on from home. 🇳🇿🏆

⏳ THE COUNTDOWN TO THE 1NZ CONTINUES… 🇳🇿🏁

As the Christmas Series wraps up and USAC Midget Car Champion Cannon McIntosh heads back home, it feels like the perfect time to reflect on a rare piece of history.

Only three American drivers have ever won the prestigious 1NZ.

⭐ Jerry C***s Jnr – the first to do it back in 2010/11, driving the famous 3USA Wendy’s machine
⭐ Spencer Bayston – claimed the title with a stellar drive at Huntly in the 2017/18 season
⭐ Michael “Buddy” Kofoid – the only American to hold both the 1NZ Midget and 1NZ Sprintcar titles, and is the current New Zealand Champion

Here are a few interesting facts:
👉 None of the American winners have ever actually worn the 1NZ on the fuel cell
👉 Michael remains the most popular name of any NZ Midget Champion to date…

So, if you’re looking to bring a definite champion into the world — may we suggest Michael… if it’s a boy 😉🏆

The legacy continues. The 1NZ means everything.

Countdown to the 1nz cont..

🏁 2004/05 NZ Midget Car Champion – Carl Worboys 🏆

Carl Worboys was fiercely competitive on the track and just as memorable off it, known for running some seriously cool liveries — including the famously unlucky green.
But in his championship season, there was no mistaking him. This car stood out, looked the part, and carried Worboys to the top of New Zealand midget racing. 🔥
