Big changes at the Burt

The Burt Munro Challenge celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2015, and will be held from Thursday 26 – Sunday 29th November. The big news is that the street racing which in past years has been held at nearby Wyndham, will now be staged in Invercargill. The City Council has agreed to close off part of the city to create a roughly rectangular circuit incorporating Bill Richardson Drive near the Waihopai River, with good competitor and spectator access. The popular Burt Munro Challenge Rally will again be based at Oreti Park, Dunns Road, Otatara, Invercargill, with an entry fee of $75. The non-stop program features a Hill Climb at Bluff, Supercross at Oreti Plains, Beach Racing at Oreti beach, Road racing at Teretonga, Speedway at Oreti beach Speedway, and winds up with Sunday’s Street Races. The Southland Vintage Car Club is also holding a motorcycle exhibition at Otatara School Hall on the Friday and Saturday (27th & 28th November) with over 80 Veteran, Vintage and Classic motorcycles on display. This year will feature HarleDavidsons, and the local Harley agents, McIver & Veitch, will have the latest models on show. For more information see... www.burtmunrochallenge.co.nz
