Influenced by Supras Invade Las Vegas in the USA, SupraFest is a 3 day get-together of Supras including events such as Drag racing; Dyno; Show n' Shine; and a Grasskana. The aim is to make SupraFest an annual gathering, so while SupraFest '03 took take place around the Auckland area (as will Suprafest 2004), hopefully SupraFest in future years will take place at various spots around New Zealand.

The inauguaral SupraFest was a huge success judging by the comments of participants and spectators alike. With over 45 Toyota Supras from Mk2's to Mk4's it was the biggest gathering of Supras New Zealand has ever seen. There is now going to be another bigger and better SupraFest in 2004, so tell your friends and get ready for another 3 day event Feb 6-8, 2004 Auckland region.

You will have to wear a helmet, shoes, and your car will need a current WOF and Rego; but otherwise there is no need for specialist safety equipment such as a roll cage (unless you think your Supra is likely to go below 11 seconds!). It will follow shootout format where the winners of each drag, race each other until there is an overall winner. Registering your car, entitles one driver to participate. Additional drivers can be registered separately.
