A drag racing event held at Ruapuna in Christchurch. Sadly I could not be there, CHCH is over 500km from me. What I did manage to do however, was get some photos from a nice chap (Graham a.k.a EFI_LC) who is on oldschool.co.nz, who did attend the event. Here’s a brief selection of his photo’s here;
'vette vs. Falcon.
Thanks go out big-time to Graham for taking and sharing his pictures of the event and then allowing me to share them all with you. Cheers Graham, much appreciated.
I took a few photos of the Drift South event at Teretonga this weekend just been. I didn’t stay too long on the main day, it was hot and I am a wuss, though in reality I had been feeling ill since the Friday and an unexpected long night/morning through into Saturday was not helping matters. Having next to no sleep, most my pictures were from the lazy setup/drift school Saturday takings place as opposed to the actual race day on the Sunday. Here’s a minor sneak peak of one photo from the Sunday.
S13 Silvia vs. A31 Cefiro
I am well aware there are no Retro or Classic vehicles in this, but if you read the “About” page, you’ll see I’m a car enthusiast of many generations. So shush. There shall be a retro posting later in the day. Word to your mother.

It's a Chaser, Chase it.
If you’re in NZ, in the North Island and/or willing to travel there to have a blat around on the track in your precious beast (sorry, no drifting will be allowed) then come one, come all (as long as you’re not a cock, obviously… if you go, and it’s latered discovered you are one. I will find you and kill you.)
Taupo, Track 2.
Basics below…
Toyota Crown, Tidy as a tidy thing.
I apologise for the horrendous picture quality, it was taken on my phone and I thought that it was on a better resolution, sadly, it was not and this is what I ended up with. Despite how it might look.. all pixelated.. it’s not like that in real life and is infact the second tidiest Toyota of that size and era that I see kicking about down here. It’s parked in the disabled spot and driven by an old man. Brilliant.

Check this out, was wandering about the wonder that is JNC today and stumbled across this;
Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R
Evidently just imported from Japan to the US of A and of genuine nature and not the clone one might believe it to be. Rather than dribble on about it like a schoolboy. I’ll let you read the thread on JNC, here;
