Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VTNZ) has just finalised a generous fundraising deal with the Masterton Motorplex. The tie-in means that $5 can be donated to the Wairarapa race track from every warrant that’s paid for by cash throughout NZ.

To donate $5 of your warrant money all you need to do is say ‘Masterton Motorplex Cash Account’ when paying at any VTNZ station in the country. Getting a warrant is already expensive, so the best part is that it won’t cost you any extra to help keep grassroots motorsport strong in NZ.

Scott Miller (pictured), helped make this awesome fundraiser deal happen and with it being signed off this week, you can donate now. So if it’s warrant time for your ride, then get down to VTNZ. Remember you have to pay with cash and mention the Masterton Motoplex account.

Taupo Motorsport Park will be the host venue for the sports biggest event the NZDRA NZ Nationals, this event over the years has been shared with other venues, most recently by Masterton Motorplex although was generally hosted by Fram Autolite.
