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.

Some great cars there, especially the older ones. Lucky you being able to them racing
You did well, love the yellow Ford Anglia
Nice pictures and videos of the racing monsters. You show nicely how fast they went.
Doesn't seem like a very safe race for participants and spectators. Hopefully everyone got home without any damage.
We have wannabes who race anytime, they are the boyracers
That's very cool! #WWOT
Love this report. They are not skidding either.
The only time they'd get away with doing burnouts outside the Police Station :)
Must have been fun watching!
My uncle used to be a race car driver. He would have loved to see this!
