Meremere Dragway
The ultimate battle between hard tuned street cars, where all you need to participate is a licence, warrant, rego and helmet. Featuring some of NZ's quickest street legal Imports and Rotaries, the Night Speed Drag Wars and Winter Drag Wars Series is one of the only events in the country where the participants can drive everything from their high horsepower street cars to nannas shopping trolley as fast as possible - in a safe and controlled environment.

Run what ya brung! Remember these events are for Street Legal
vehicles only so your vehicle needs to be WOFd and REGO’d. You must
have a helmet and a minimum Restricted License
for a car driver. For Motorbikes, if you have a Learner or Restricted license then your bike must be on the LAMS-approved motorbikes list (same as the road rules) which will be available at Race Entry. Ensure your battery
is securely fastened/tied down and
if you have a rotary vehicle
that you have a scatter blanket / shield. Lastly, in all classes except King of the Street, you can run D.O.T approved street legal drag tyres only but any other race slick is strictly prohibited. We have updated the rules allowing the King of the Street only class to run full slicks – click Drag Wars Rules to see updates in yellow.
Please refer to the Drag Wars Rules and Guidelines document at the bottom of this page for full rules and regulations of racing.
