Former OHS student returns to race at Onehunga's new speedway venue.

Former Onehunga High School student Alec Insley continues to achieve success in speedway racing, a sport he pursued throughout his time at OHS. In 2024, while in Year 13, Alec had already achieved seven podium finishes in Midget car racing. His achievements were recognised by the school as he continued to compete while completing his secondary education.

Since leaving OHS, Alec has continued racing and developing his career in motorsport. This Saturday 14 November, he will compete at the opening night of Lucas Oil Auckland Speedway at its new venue at 175 Neilson Street, Onehunga, following the closure of Western Springs Speedway. The opening event will feature five classes of speedway racing and a fireworks display. Public gates open at 3.00pm, with racing beginning at 6.00pm. Spectators will also have the opportunity to visit the pits and meet drivers before racing begins.

It is pleasing to see Alec continuing in a sport he was passionate about during his school years and now competing close to his former school. We congratulate Alec on his achievements and wish him continued success in his racing career.
