Vote now for a New Zealand street race in Wellington
Release Date: 07/04/2005
All V8 Supercar Championship Series supporters have their chance to vote on whether New Zealand should continue to host a round of the series.
Next weekend's Placemakers V8 International at Pukekohe could be the last time New Zealanders get the chance to host an event after the decision by Auckland to withdraw its support of a planned race from next year.
Wellington City Council is now polling the public to gauge support for a street race through the picturesque streets of the city.

to cast a vote.
For those left a bit clueless to the situation, the last couple of years, the V8 Supercars' only international round was in New Zealand at the Pukekohe Park Raceway. The cars have outgrown the circuit and this year is the final year they will be racing there. The plan was to have an Aukland street race replace Pukekohe on the calender, but after alot of fuss made by Aukland council originally hating the idea, then wanting it and now finally hating it again, the organising body of V8 Supercars, AVESCO, was about to give up totally on a NZ race until Wellington announced they would be willing to hold a street race for the V8 Supercars.
