Cruz'n the Bayz Northland

28/04/2026

Cheers to the team at NZ Petrolhead & NZ Rodder, much appreciated. Great pics and write up from Alistair Davidson and the hardworking team. Grab a mag and check it out! 👍

Four seasons in one festival!
This is the big one… April’s NZ Petrolhead has extensive coverage of Repco Beach Hop 26; from torrential rain through to blazing sunshine, we photographed it all. Bad weather couldn’t keep the entrants and public away, and they were rewarded with an exceptionally good Saturday. You’ll also read about the most excellent Cruz’n the Bayz in the Far North, an event that you need to add to your to-do list. We bring you drag racing coverage, including the NZDRA and IHRA National meetings, and Wanganui Street Drags’ 40th anniversary.
New Zealand Petrolhead is this country’s favorite and biggest-circulating special-interest monthly car mag. Available now from numerous outlets nationwide, or go to www.nzpetrolhead.co.nz to have it delivered (P&P fee applies).

Cruz’n the Bayz is getting some awesome publicity, and we couldn’t be prouder! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to Andy Hamberger (Deputy Fire Chief & Repco Manager) and the incredible Rapid Relief Team, organised by Matthew Wycherley, for their amazing support. Those delicious burgers at Tauranga Bay Reserve were a hit—and all for a great cause! 🍔🔥

We were proud to be part of the cheque handover of $3,400 raised by the RRT during the event 👏

Even better, the total funds raised came to an incredible $8,400! 🎉

Massive congratulations and thanks to our participants and community for getting behind this and supporting such a vital emergency service. You’ve all made a real difference ❤️

💥 WHAT a way to finish the weekend!! 💥

The Tug of War at Cruz’n the Bayz absolutely brought the energy, the laughs, and some seriously fierce competition! 💪😄 From the first pull to the final showdown, it was all on - teams digging deep, crowds cheering loud, and plenty of friendly rivalry to keep things exciting.

We saw grit, determination, and maybe a few sore arms today… but most importantly, we saw our community come together for a whole lot of fun 🙌

A massive shoutout to everyone who jumped on the rope, got behind a team, or simply came along to soak up the atmosphere - you helped turn an already incredible weekend into an unforgettable finish 🎉

What a way to end Cruz’n the Bayz… on a HIGH! 🔥
Until next time… get a team ready for a rematch in 2027! 😉
