That big green tractor putting in the work at the strip? 🚜🏁

Yep, it’s borrowed! 😂 Drummond & Etheridge hook us up with the tractor to help lay down the rubber, and we’re bloody grateful for it! 🙌

They’ve been selling and servicing quality brands for over 85 years, covering everything from agriculture, construction and forestry to commercial, lifestyle and adventure gear. 💪

So when you see that tractor doing its thing, you know who to thank! There’s plenty happening before the cars even hit the start line, and this is one of the ways Drummond & Etheridge support Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club. ❤️

Go check them out 👇

Sales & servicing of combines, foragers, tractors, farm machinery, ATVs, watercraft, turf equipment, irrigation & a range of lifestyle-related merchandise.

Early start at the track? Make a weekend of it! 🏁🍻

The Racecourse Hotel is only around 12 minutes from Ruapuna—pretty bloody handy when you’ve got a day of drag racing ahead! 🏎️💨

With accommodation, a restaurant and a bar, you can get a feed, put your feet up and have somewhere to stay once the racing’s done. 🙌

They’ve been part of Christchurch for over 100 years, through earthquakes and all, and we’re grateful to have them backing Pegasus Bay Drag Racing Club ❤️

OK EVERYONE — WE’RE PULLING THE PIN. 🚨

Unfortunately, Mother Nature has officially won this round. 🌧️

After everything that has gone into getting this event across the line, this one hurts. It has been a real battle to get this event to actually happen, and to have the weather pull the rug out from underneath us is absolutely devastating for PBDRC.

Our thoughts are with everyone who has been travelling, packing up, preparing cars and bikes, organising crews, and making plans to be here. We know how much time, money and effort goes into getting to race day — and we are gutted that we can’t make it happen.

A massive thank you to Christchurch City Council for working with us throughout this process and supporting the event.

There will be a full statement from PBDRC coming soon with further information.

For now, thank you to everyone who has supported us, backed us and stuck with us through what has been one hell of a battle.

We’re gutted. You’re gutted. The weather wins. 🌧️🏁

Cheers,
PBDRC
