Welcome to McDonalds Kihikihi Speedway

The township of Kihikihi is located at the heart of the Waipa District sitting just 5 minutes south of Te Awamutu. Generally the Waipa District is known for being one of the countries dairy farming powerhouses and for its sporting success in cycling, rowing and equestrian, but it also has a long association with speedway. The Kihikihi Speedway Club has been in existence since 1954 when permission was granted to build a basic race track on the Kihikihi Domain. To this very day the club is still at that original location, having slowly improved the venue for the benefit of both spectators and drivers.

In the early years the club focused on the open wheel and bike sections of speedway however a variety of classes have since been added leading to a diverse programme encompassing 10 regular classes.

Kihikihi unlike most speedways in New Zealand still runs predominately on Sunday afternoons. This has proved to be one of Kihikihi's greatest strengths, creating a relaxed family friendly atmosphere whilst also allowing visitors from around the North Island to regularly compete at Kihikihi as most other tracks run Saturday nights.
