City/Town - Lower Hutt, North Island, New Zealand

Location - The Te Marua track is located a fair distance north of Wellington. From the capital take the road north to the Upper/Lower Hutt area. Go for miles and you will eventually reach the track which is on your left. Check the official website for detailed instructions.
Parking - Parking is in the area surrounding the track. For purposes of exiting the arena try and park as close to the entrance as possible. There is only one road in/out and on a big night the carpark can take some time to empty, especially with the turn onto the main highway holding up cars exiting the carpark.
Premiere Meeting - The Tama Arapere Memorial for Modifieds is going to quickly develop into a must see show.
Also worth attending - Maybe Wellington titles in the premier classes.
Best spot to sit - The track does suffer from a lack of height. The best spot is probably the poorly designed stands that maximise space to walk up and down whilst providing as little seating as possible. Other seating around the track consists of wooden benches so take a softening device to avoid numbness.
Classes run - Youth Ministocks, Stockcars, Superstocks, Production Saloons, Saloons, Super Saloons, Modifieds, Streetstocks.
Uniqueness - It's a little difficult to identify what is unique about the place. The track is a standard, relatively symmetric quarter mile with little in the way of banking. The surface is also run of the mill.
