Forest Lake Stock Cars.[edit]

Opening meeting was on Saturday 3rd. December 1966 with a six race program. A capacity crowd of 11,000 crammed the stadium. Admission was adults 5/- and children 2/6. For the new season of 1968/69 they introduced a new 'production cars' class to boost their stock car program. In 1971 they purchased the stadium. Situated in a residential suburb of Hamilton they received a growing number of complaints about noise and traffic congestion, so it was inevitable that one day it would be closed. The final meeting was on Saturday night of March 24th 1979 The Hamilton City Council then took over the stadium. Over the thirteen years Spencer and Terry ran Forest lake they held many Teams Races and International events for stock and saloon cars, and proved themselves to be exceptional promoters. The drivers club, obtained a new lease for one more season in 1979/80. In May 1980 the council put an end to it. The stadium was demolished and netball courts built there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reeceg (talk • contribs) 22:27, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
