Round 2
Round 2 of the New Zealand Jetsprint Championship is brought to you by Lincoln Automatics
Saturday 27th December 2025
The methanol sucking monsters are back!
Love speed, the smell of methanol and the vibration of v8’s then you won’t want to miss the action of the V8 Jetsprints … where high-speed adrenaline junkies make split-second decisions and hesitation could mean elevation (to an island or suspension in a fence that is!). Bring your family (but not the family pets), bring a blanket and be entertained by one of the fastest machines on the planet reaching speeds of 140km in under 2 seconds.
Watch as they navigate their way around the tight channels in a course about the size of a rugby field all of them pushing hard for the ultimate glory of winning.
Racing begins at 9am with qualifying rounds, eliminations will be in the afternoon after the lunchbreak.
Food caravans will be onsite, flushing toilets! You are on a farm so dress accordingly … please NO PETS, this is an accredited farm.
Get your tickets here and save! … or leave till the day and pay at the gate: Adult $30.00, Child $10.00 (5 – 15yrs … under 5’s free), Family Pass $70.00 (2 Adults, 2 Children)
Track Information
Located on farmland in Upokongaro, just 12 km north of Whanganui along State Highway 4 (the Parapara Highway), Shelter View Jet Sprint Track has been thrilling crowds since 2004. As the longest-running jet sprint venue in New Zealand, it offers a purpose-built course designed for speed, spray, and excitement.
The surrounding earth banks form a natural amphitheatre, giving spectators unbeatable views of the action. You’ll feel close to the racing intensity—right down to the spray of water as the boats fly past.
Food vendors are available onsite, and you’re welcome to bring your own refreshments. Please note: as this is an accredited working farm, no pets are permitted.
