The Speedway element of the 2024 Burt Munro Challenge week had to be postponed on Saturday afternoon because of the rain, but it ran instead the following day. Photo by Andy McGechan, BikesportNZ.comThe Burt Munro Challenge wrapped up for 2024 with the always-popular Speedway event, this time including the flat-track dirt bike brigade.

This year the iconic event celebrates its 17th year and BikesportNZ.com staff were on hand at the Super Seller Shelley Speedway track, on the outskirts of Invercargill, and today we offer you a few teaser photos.

New Zealanders are highly regarded for their “can do” attitude and that characteristic, along with widespread general sporting prowess and a mighty mix of bravery and bravado, are at the root of what the world-famous Burt Munro Challenge is all about.

It is that indefatigable fighting spirit, coupled with the Kiwi number eight wire ingenuity that has made the man the event is named after – legendary Southland bike racer Burt Munro – and of course the event itself, so appealing to domestic and international motorcycle enthusiasts alike.

Today we offer you a small selection of photos we took at Sunday afternoon’s Speedway competition.

Check back here in the coming days when we will give you a more comprehensive run-down of what transpired at the Burt Munro Challenge in 2024.
