Welcome To The Taupo Road Race Spectacular Website
Serving up racing to the masses.
This site has been designed to keep racers informed and updated on the happenings of NZ road racings best kept secret:
"The Taupo Road Race Spectacular".
Once again on December 27th and 28th, 2009.
This event is now in its sixth year, and going from strength to strength. You would be hard pressed to find a 2 day motorcycle road racing event that charges a lower entry fee, or one that provides a social, friendly environment, and provides a free BBQ and even free beers !!
Chris Lawrance (the 2008/09 NZ F1 Sidecar Champ!) and Andy Scrivener saw a need to cater for all types of motorcycle classes, from Pre '63 classics to Superbikes, and even the 3 wheel drift machines - Sidecars.
But don't just take our word for it. The spectators and competitors at last years event proved it. They both showed up in record numbers!!
2009's Road Race Spectacular is shaping up to be the biggest to date with even more on offer!
