    We're thrilled to share that, after multiple postponements, our 24-hour endurance race in support of ShelterBox New Zealand is back on!

    We'll be taking to the park from September 16 - 17 - spending all day and all night racing around Hampton Downs.

    Thanks so much to ENGEO, Envelope Engineers, Naylor Love, Griffiths Drilling - NZ Ltd, Kensway, Designgroup Stapleton Elliot and TJL Associates, for the ongoing support, as well as the kind individuals who have donated to support us.

    We hope to do you all proud this coming weekend!

  • Race Rescheduled

      12 May 2022

    Unfortunately, due to the operational challenges that have been posed by Covid restrictions, the Lemons event has been postponed again.

    After so many postponements, making it down to Hampton Downs is proving to be a bit of a challenge! But, we remain as determined as ever ... and are planning on trying again in the regular September race (exact dates TBC).

    Our heartfelt thanks go out to all those who cheered us on, donated, or supported us some way - all of your kind support will absolutely count towards the reprogrammed event later this year.

    We'll close this page off for now, but look forward to rebooting our fundraising efforts closer to September.

  • 24 Hours of Lemons Update

      11 February 2022

    Unfortunately, due to the operational challenges that are posed by the Red Traffic Light setting, the NaZCAR Lemons continuous 24-hour event (due to take place next weekend) has been postponed again.

    After several postponements over the past 18 months, making it down to Hampton Downs to complete the race is proving to be no easy feat!

    But, we remain as determined as ever to compete in the race and raise vital funds for displaced families across the globe - and are intending to try again in the regular September race (exact dates TBC).

    Once again, our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has supported us to date - including our sponsors, friends, family, colleagues, and Rotarians around the country. All of your kind support will absolutely count towards the reprogrammed event later this year.

    Here's to even more practice than we could have anticipated. Bring on September!

    Kia ora everyone!

    Unfortunately, due to the current Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions, the NaZCAR Lemons continuous 24-hour event has been postponed again, and will now take place from February 19th - 20th, 2022.

    Although the date has changed, our ambitions remain the same - and our team looks forward to continuing to raise funds and awareness for ShelterBox New Zealand, even if we have to wait a little longer :)

    Thanks so much to our sponsors, friends, family, colleagues, and Rotarians around the country for the incredible support so far.

    Here's to another four months of extra practice, so we can do you all proud once race day arrives. Bring on February!

  • Practice Session at Manfield Chris Amon Track

      13 August 2021

    Greetings all - firstly thank you all so very much for your kind support and donations! We are over half way there on our quest to raise a good wedge for ShelterBox NZ! Amazing.

    Secondly, we are having a practice day in the green machine this Sunday at Manfield Chris Amon track - getting some much needed seat time ahead of our big 24 hour event. Feel free to stop by if you are local - we will also share some photos afterwards!

    Onwards!
