Show Notes
There's mixed emotions over the decision to move Auckland's speedway from its home of 95 years.
This summer season will be the last raced at Western Springs.
Councillors deliberated for seven hours before voting 11-8 in favour of an $11 million upgrade to Onehunga's Waikaraka Park.
Western Springs Speedway Manager John McCullum told Mike Hosking it's a tough pill to swallow.
He says normally an $11 million council investment is great, but it's coming at the cost of losing their home.
