After months of planning, race day was finally here and the New Zealand Short Course Championship 2021 was up for grabs.
The weather was perfect, making this event a great day.
With 50 cars entered, and drivers from all over the country, no rain, and a massive crowd, the stage
was set.
The drivers didn't disappoint. There was a lot of mud at the beginning but it soon smoothed out to be an awesome racing surface, with lots of high-speed racing, spin-outs, tangle-ups and a couple of rollovers.
