About us
Landspeed New Zealand Association
Landspeed New Zealand was formed to foster and promote landspeed racing in New Zealand. Kiwis have always had the urge to push their machines to the limit, to see just how fast they will really go, and until now there has been no local organisation that supports us in this effort.
The association was formed in 2016, when it officially became an incorporated society – a copy of our certificate of incorporation is available here.
The first AGM was held in Hamilton on the 9th of April 2017.
In 2022 we became Tax Exempt as we are a Nonprofit Association.
The current 2024 elected officers of the association are:
- Committee Member President – John Seccombe
- Committee Member Vice President and Secretary – Stephanie Bickerstaff
- Committee Member Treasure and Accountant – Mark Hunter (chartered Accountant)
- Committee Member Event and Pit Manager – Rick Brenchley
- Committee Member Timing & records – Mike Wilkins
- Committee Member Motorcycle Tech Inspector – Ed Dekker
- Committee Member Car Tech Inspector – Glen Collins
- Committee Member Timing – Sharon Goh
- Committee Member Timing and Electronics- Matt Way
- Committee Member Equipment hire- John Somerville
- Committee Member Engineering & Resources- Tim Strange
All positions within the Landspeed New Zealand are honorary and voluntary. Many of the office bearers and committee compete as well as officiate at our annual Speed Trials, not to mention the untold hours spent organizing and answering queries during the year all whilst trying to make a living and keep the family happy.
All members of the Landspeed New Zealand are truly indebted to these people for without them, there would be no LSNZ and no racing. Keep an eye on this website and our Facebook page for news on upcoming events.
Event in Feb 2023 were cancelled due to the terrible cyclone .
March 2023 Fulton Hogan resealed Goudies road and appears to be a great job.
Note the cost per event is $450 including the $100 membership. If you want to enter the next event it will cost $450 total.
If we have to cancel a event due to rain, we will give 2 to 3 days notice because of participants coming up from South Island, we can refund $350 or credit to next event less the $100 membership fee. Participant entry will be up to 40 entrants, of cars and motorbikes.
If a participant has to cancel within two months of event date, it is at our discretion that we refund the $350 portion.
Refund story: The best excuse I had from a guy booked and paid on the Friday morning, Saturday morning he rung desperate could he cancel and get refund as his wife went ballistic when he told her and she said no its not happening ! So ensure your wife knows first and get her to check no Weddings on that weekend, or your anniversary holiday on that date!
