Southern Dragways, established in 1980, is New Zealand’s southernmost drag racing club, based in Invercargill.
The club has been pivotal in promoting drag racing in the South Island, organising events at Teretonga Park Raceway and other venues in the region, while the track itself has been instrumental in the development of drag racing in the south, providing a venue for street cars, bikes, and competition cars.
It’s a small club based on strong merits, located in the home of the world’s fastest Indian, delicious cheese rolls, local celebrity Tim Shadbolt (depending on who you ask, an icon in his own right!), and the destination of the Goodbye Pork Pie Mini.
