Kumeu Classic Car & Hot Rod Festival Summer Nationals has some great racing instore.

These two competitors are a show on their own. Wayne Grimmer in the Battery Town sponsored Hemi powered Barracuda taking the win at the Fram Autolite Northern Nationals and setting the new record at 8.27 seconds for AA/Top Street has put pressure on Sam Levien’s wedge powered Brave Design Duster which is not far behind. About a tenth of a second between them and Sam’s ability to cut some pretty sharp lights, could be a change of winner at the Kumeu Classic Summer Nationals event. Besides the close races between these two, it’s the start line action that wows the crowd’s with both Mopar's leaving the startline with wheels high in the air.

Of cause there is also the 406 Chevy powered Cylinder Head Services Honda Accord of Balclutha's Roger Binnima and the big inch Pirtek Camaro of New Plymouths Jeff Dobson to overcome for a repeat for the two Mopars, and be certain, Roger would like to keep his title as New Zealand’s number one Top Street racer! So some serious racing will be assured in the Century Yuasa Power Series at round two the Kumeu Classic Car and Hot Rod Festival Summer Nationals.
