This
was a track for speedway practice on the mud flats near Paramata, which is just
north of Wellington. It was used during winter months by local riders who had not travelled to UK.
Pahautanui is now a bird
sanctuary.
It was used in the late 1940's and early 1950's but possibly also in the 1970's.
