Waimate 8th Mile Street Car Challenge

Waimate’s Street Car Challenge gives local drivers the opportunity to put their road-registered vehicles to the test over a 200-metre eighth-mile course on Manchesters Road. Competitor numbers are limited to 50 vehicles, with drivers required to bring a helmet and cotton overalls. Those who prefer to watch can follow the action from the sidelines and support their favourite cars throughout the day. Coffee and snacks will be available, with spectator parking provided inside the Rooney Sawmill Yard.
