Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

Super saloons, the methanol gulping, flame shooting, mud-slinging 700 plus horsepower beasts of speedway return to Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway on Saturday, November 10 for Round 2 of the Mag & Turbo Super Cup 2018-19.

When: Saturday, November 10 - Gates open at 4pm racing starts at 6pm.
Where: 7 Sandflat Rd, Cromwell

Be sure to be trackside as 22 of the South Island’s fastest super saloon drivers go pedal to the metal, door to door on the clay of Heavy Trax Hire Central Motor Speedway. Former Central Motor Speedway ‘t’ drivers Peter Dickson and Shane McIntyre are likely to be among frontrunners. But don’t expect Peter, Shane or drivers like defending champ Ian Burson (21n) and second placed Trevor Elliott (27c) to get their own way with ‘t’ drivers Ray Stewart (34t and 3rd in last season’s Vertex) and Greig Johnston (77t) on the track.

As always, there will be good fields of support classes and possibly a gang of Street Stocks.

The Team from ACC New Zealand

Setting off fireworks has become an annual Kiwi backyard tradition, and it’s almost time to break out the sparklers again.

However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.

Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.
