Rotationals X Repco: I Am Hope Drag Festival 2024 Hampton Downs Tickets | NAPA Auto Parts Meremere Dragway - The Ticket Fairy
IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! Third year running... Time for our incredible community to come together again, to support the absolute legends at I Am Hope - and have a great day while we’re at it! After an absolutely incredible turnout from you guys at our last Rotationals x Repco meet, we're going to do the same again, but with some big improvements to how we handle traffic/entry (read on!). Repco were STOKED with the overwhelmingly positive response at the last event, so we're stoked to have their valued support again to make this possible! We're also massively stoked to be working with NAPA Auto Parts Dragway, Meremere. They're keen to help us get every drop of potential out of this venue, and help create a great day for everyone attending. KEY IMPROVEMENTS: + Show and Shine Ticketed Entry: like we polled on Instagram, the clear majority of us agree that this is absolutely needed. It means that you KNOW for sure, whether you can park inside, or whether you need to park outside and walk in. This will drastically reduce entrance queues compared to last time. It means we can control the car entry numbers, and also help scrape the funds together for this event that way. Tickets will only be $10 + IAH Entry Donation ($10); giving you a guaranteed park inside, a much better spot for photos of your car, and of course, a UV resistant event sticker. + Longer Event Timeframe: Instead of a 3 hour rush, we’re spreading this event over the whole day, from 8am until 5pm. So there will be a much wider spread for traffic to come and go throughout the day, and more time to see the cars/watch the racing. + Fun or Fast Drag Strip Runs: We’ll be operating the drag strip throughout the day for Drag ticket holders, and we want to give people who have never raced their car before the chance to give it a go on this fun, wholesome day. Trust us, you’ll love it. And if you have a quick car or just love drag racing, absolutely feel free to come and show us how it’s done - everybody needs something to aspire to! We’ll be running fun 1v1 “grudge” racing for the start, with a DYO (Dial Your Own headstart time, for a close finish regardless of car matchup) showdown after lunch, and then back to grudge racing in the afternoon. With a max of 100 entrants - meaning heaps of racing for everybody. More details on this very soon. + Massively improved Rev-Comp: We're going to make it perfect this time, and much easier to enter/run/spectate - by holding it on the skid-pad area. This will happen about mid-day, and we’ll be taking registrations for it with limited spots. + I Am Hope Fundraising Raffle: Outside of the shady car raffle cowboys around, raffles are still an amazing way to raise funds for a good cause. So we’ll be running a proper raffle, with Repco very generously providing an incredible ***$2500 prize pack*** for the winner!! How do you enter? Every $10 fundraising sticker sold comes with a bonus - 1 entry into the raffle. Buy more stickers, you get more entries! WHAT'S THE SAME? + Bowden's Own Car Care Show and Shine: We'll be running a Show and Shine with prizes for the top cars kindly sponsored by Bowden's Own! Every car in the Show and Shine will be entered, as well as all racers. It's not crazy serious - it's more for fun! But there will be $1000 worth of Bowden's Own detailing prizes spread throughout different categories - to be voted on our story afterwards. + Lots of food, drinks, and family friendly activities: Straight Up Wheelies will be back with their wheelie machine, and we’ll have other fun activities like driving simulators running throughout the day! WHERE: - NAPA Auto Parts Dragway, Meremere DATE/TIME: - Sunday, May 26th, 2024 - 8am - 5pm We'll keep you all updated as we get closer to this next Rotationals X Repco event!
