Here we go again 😎
 
 
Event Date: December 12th, 2026.

This event is open to any pre-1990 car and is always a casual and fun day at the drag strip. It doesn't matter how slow your car is - if it's old, bring it out! Got something newer than 1990, but it's cool? Bring it along! We love to see stuff from the 90s and early 00s if it's interesting.

Location: Napa Autoparts Dragway Meremere
Date: Saturday December 12th, 2026
Time: 8:00-9:30am documentation & scrutineering
Racing from 10:00am - ~3:30pm
Cost: $80 entry (early payment), $100 cash on the day

Online Payment Before the event is $80. LATE PAYMENTS ON THE DAY WILL BE $100. Please pay early 😉

Spectator entry is free.

We will be running the full timing system, which gives you a printed time slip with your ET, 60 foot, reaction time etc.

In the afternoon we'll run a DYO (dial your own) knock-out competition. You will need to set a time and try to go as close to that as possible (without going over). The cars are let go on a staggered start, so you need to try and cross the line first while also not going faster than your DYO time.

Once DYO is out of the way, we'll go back to grudge racing for the rest of the afternoon.

Tell your friends with old cars that they're welcome to enter. We encourage new faces and cars at this event, just like at all oldschool events.

Better than lucky number 13 I got last time (blew up 2 engines and never raced) 2 sounds far better.

Sounds like you might need to fire your engine builder ha

Nah the tuner could definitely done better 3 years ago. My mistake was slapping that engine together knowing nothing about it I just wanted to be there on day even if it smoked heaps..... it just smoked its bearings instead.

I appear to be able to screw a new engine together better than a free one and can tune way better thanks to "HP Academy" * 😁 ive got a bit of coin in this engine.

 

*non sponsored plug. Seriously its helped heaps

We could look at booking the camping area if enough people are into it.

Is a non wof'd car with a MSNZ log book and cage ok these days?

Yep, 100%. All you need is an MSNZ logbook and valid motorsport licence.

Out of curiousity (if anyone knows) how do some events get away with no wof/reg requirement?  The recent rollracing series is one of these events.

They might get around it by having their own insurance that's external to Meremere / NZDRA. Kinda similar to how Lemons can run non-homologated cages and 200 cars at Hampton Downs for 24 hours, but Motorsport NZ event promoters aren't allowed to do the same thing.

Might find some of those guys at Parakao Dirt Drags. Think that's on this Sunday if the weather doesn't completely turn to shit. Might end up being mud drags.

Imagine if OS Drag Day opened itself up to no reg no wof cars. You'd have half of Te Kamo bringing their clunkers down. 

Most Of my te Kamo cars have a wof you’ll find,

is it a legit wof? Well I’ll let you be the judge of that
