Inside New Zealand's Biggest Illegal Skid Meet
We followed the organiser of the Hamilton Invasion, where skid enthusiasts from across New Zealand were invited to show their talents at local intersections.
All our videos are made on a shoestring budget and are fully independent. If you're keen to show a bit of extra support, it genuinely means a lot and helps the department keep informing:

So don’t use that it cost to much to buy a car not when people are making what they make now every cost more !! You can make a Evo go 10 seconds for 20g this day n age back then it was 40k plus !

State of it... NZ has always had the best selection of cars to have a bit of fun with and we waste them on drunks doing pissy skids in some intersection, acting like those side show clowns in America. Bring it back to 20-30 years ago, sure wasn't always legal but at least there was more emphasis on people turning up to legit events like 4 n Rotas etc. Plus they actually knew how to style cars decently, unlike now. Don't ever get the "skid scene" confused with drifters or other car enthusiasts, these types are just in it for the next quick thrill.
10:20 HAHAHAHAH 'Some guy in the Warriors shirt... *up da wahs*'
Hah nice one. The council shut down a farm pad out Woodville way. I used to say go to the track/skidpad but now the barrier is higher - cotton overalls used to be enough. racesuit, helmet, passenger too needs it too I think for taupo.
When I was in my mid to late teens we used to go out to south auckland for the illegal street drags. I'm now 40! lol
So glad they're doing this and not 'kia boys' kaka.

As a Kiwi car guy. I hate these invasions. 2 or 3 cars heading to a inty is algood and controllable but this many people and then all crowding the road. Gets me nervous. More pads and tracks are needed. Slow down on creating cycle lanes that don't get used and give the boys some concrete with barriers ECT to keep spectators safe.
