History
The roots of Cromwell Street Sprints trace back to 1993, back then the event was run by the Queenstown Car Club and went around McNulty Rd, Rodgers St, Barry Ave, Diog Ln and Butchers Dv. (Click here to see some results, pictures and news articles from the early events)
It took a break until a group of passionate individuals decided to resurrect the event in 2011 transforming the town’s industrial streets into a thrilling racing circuit (and moved to a circuit around Hughes Cresent, Chardonnay Street, Cemetary Road, Connelly Way and Wolter Crescent – see map below). It has grown into a highly anticipated event, showcasing the perfect blend of speed, skill, and community spirit.
