Speedway NZ has two different processes for changing the rules.
Please see below for an explanation and 'how to' for the two processes.

The Technical Rule Change Submissions Process
How do you make a Submission?

You must submit the following items for a rule change to be presented for the consultation process:
How do changes happen?
The Speedway NZ Board weigh up the merits of submissions based on the Sports Strategic Plan, along with feedback from stakeholders of the class, which also includes technical committee and track input.
I want to change a Racing Rule
Racing rules can only be changed every two years at the Annual General Meeting.
The Submission period is open for 60 days and starts in March/April prior to AGM.
Submitting a Racing Rule change:
To submit a rule change you must be a member of Speedway NZ. That includes Competitors, Tracks, Life members, and Officials
A submission must state:
Constitution (C), General (M), Safety (S), Demolition Derby (D) and Equipment (E) rules follow the same process as Racing rules
How do changes happen?
Two delegates from each track get to vote on racing rules (R) for classes that they contract.
