Thousands of people were in the streets of central Tauranga on Sunday for the Farmer Auto Village Tauranga Street Race.

The street race was a great family day out with people of all ages enjoying the kart races - and driving them. The drivers ranged in age from seven through to over 60.

In its third year, event organiser Steve Glover says it is continuing to gain in popularity and despite the difficult economic conditions the country is in, businesses are backing it.


Farmer Auto Village Tauranga Street Race convenor Steve Glover is elated with the success of the event.
