This is the first time that we have hosted such an awesome addition to the show, The area will be a fully fenced and barricaded racetrack, due to the nature of the event driving is restricted to the PRO D1NZ Drivers only.

As you can see the weekend is upon us..... Anyone else decided to show their car? Details have been released so nothing else to wait on...... Those that are entering how about we meet in the Pak N Save carpark at 7.30? Its about 500 metres from North Shore Events Centre on Wairau Rd. As Tsoob has said people can register on the day but would be best to all enter together. So make your mind up and get along...... If not displaying turn up as a spectator. After all viewing is free.
