The battle of the jetsprints has attracted thousands of people as V8 engines face off against quad-rotor turbo-charged machines at Baypark.

Round two of the ENZED V8 Jetsprint Championship series is featuring 50 competitors, including six Australians on the newly formed stadium jetsprint track until 10pm.

Event manager Pip Minnell says the Bay of Plenty has put on the weather with beautiful blue skies.

"The crowds have been pouring in since about 11am, so people were here bright and early for the pre-elimination rounds.

"The racing has been going fantastically. It is a tight and challenging track, so there has been spectacular action for the crowd."

Competitors are racing on a world-first track which see them navigate the temporary circuit of twisting five-metre-wide channels, covering 450m in total, at a depth of between 40 to 70cm.

It took diggers three days to carve out the 450m temporary circuit includes hair pin bends and straights.

The 1800 cubic metres of dirt taken from the track will be stored on ASB Baypark fields adjacent to the stadium and will be returned to site and re-turfed post event.

Pip says over 8500 tickets were sold pre-gate sales and she expects that figure to grow once the final tally for ticket sales comes in.

"There is still a whole lot of night racing action to continue through until about 9.30pm or 10pm."
