Sprint car racing 2025

 

Every year Greymouth's local car club holds street sprint races around the roads in the CBD. There were people scattered around behind wire fences and hay bales that had been put up for safety purposes. This photo shows only a small portion of people in the skatepark watching from up high.

I had my camera on sports mode but still had to be quick to take photos of them zooming past us. B and I got there early at 8am and at first the cars were slowly winding up then an hour or so later they were doing burnouts and racing. The photos below are only a small selection of the cars that were there.

We stayed for a couple of hours but more people turned up just as we were leaving. These cars are known here as sprint cars and also drive around the local speedway.
