Have fun over there - I wish I was back as it is motorsport season there (except rallying) and rather than living hours away from everything like I am here (Armidale, NSW), I have 2 tracks within an hour of home (Ruapuna/Christchurch, Levels/Timaru).
If you want to see any, check
http://www.motorsport.org.nz/Calendar/alldates.html to see when everything is on.

nothing in dunedin I know about (but could be wrong)
I think there used to be something rally related at the old Race to the sky site in Cardrona (Queenstown) but could find it in a very brief google

A big thank you to Jason who kindly picked both of us up at our hotel in the immaculate black widey in the pic and drove us to see the gold twin cam up close .The paint and engine bay is to die for and I wish that I had his skills ,time & patience as his attention to detail is second to none !!!!!!!and I came away looking like this
Thanks again :beer
