The countdown is on to the biggest show on dirt this Waitangi weekend - with 14 confirmed teams from Auckland to Christchurch and everywhere in between, plus the return of the mighty British Lions after a Covid hiatus. The biggest, best, and most spectacular weekend of racing is readying to roar into life.
Saturday's scrutineering location is in the Square from 12:30pm until 3pm. Everyone is welcome to come and have a close up look at the cars.
There will be fireworks on both nights. Support classes on Sunday are Sidecars along with consolation Superstock races.
No commercially prepared food, tarpaulins, deckchairs, pushchairs, prams or chilly bins sorry. You can bring your own prepared food into the Arena within reason for personal use, but no alcohol, glass or 1.5L bottles of fizzy.
