- **Event Name**: Rotationals: Cars & Cans Street Meet
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 am – Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 am
- **Event Description**: ROTATIONALS STREET MEETS ARE BACK IN AUCKLAND! Here’s what’s happening:

The next massive, all-out Rotationals car meet and Show and Shine is coming soon (March 1st 2026), and we’ve secured a HUGE piece of land at the Kumeu Showgrounds for this unmissable day. 

We’ll be able to fit upwards of 700 cars on the day, and we still have room to expand! Massive thanks goes out to the Kumeu Showgrounds team for their help and support.

They’re helping us bring our charity food drives to Auckland, so we can have a crack at beating the 1.1 tonne food record from our last Hamilton food drive with Downtime Entertainment.

**IMPORTANT DETAILS**

Since we’re moving to a proper venue, you don’t have all the downsides of your typical “street” parkups.

Police: You can’t get stickered inside! You can even trailer in a racecar if you like. Mint huh?

Security: We can kick out muppets if we need, leaving a great atmosphere for both young and old to enjoy. Things are more predictable this way, meaning there’s no way some drifta wannabe will crash into your dream car.

Food: You’ve got lots of options for food trucks on the premises! Not just maccas…

Toilets &amp; Bins: Right on premise, so you don’t have to walk for ages.

There are lots more positives, and all in all, this should be a massive improvement on any regular street meet. It’s the only sustainable direction to head in really.

However, this costs us money - and even with Kumeu Showgrounds seriously subsidising their fee for us, it’s going to be tight.

**ENTRY**

Because of the above, we need to charge $10 per car for this event. Note, that’s only per CAR,  not per person. There’s no fee per person. 

If we bring in our usual numbers of cars, we should be able to cover it alright. We’ve done over 20 free events for the community now, so we hope you guys will jump on board with us for this!
Plus, any surplus from that goes into the resources needed to make future events bigger and better.

**HOW TO TAKE PART IN THIS FOOD DRIVE CAR MEET**

To take part, once you’ve paid your $10 entry, all you need to do is donate a decent can of food, a bag of dry rice, dry pasta, or other non-perishable food. If you’re spectating, while you don’t have to, please consider contributing something even if it’s small!

Times are tough for some of our fellow Kiwis out there, so this is a hugely effective way to help people directly. It’s ALSO a great way to show NZ that this side of the car community does good for the world.

**WHO CAN ENTER?**

We welcome cool cars from all backgrounds - JDM, USA, Euro, new, old, ancient, stock, modified etc. 

If any car enthusiasts will get a kick out of seeing your car, bring it along!


**WHAT'S ON?**

+ There will be a Show and Shine sponsored by Bowden's Own, with $500 worth of prizes up for grabs! Any car that comes in is entered, as we find finalists through photos after the event.
We run this on our Instagram story, with polls to find the winners going on @rotationals the week after the event. Find us on there, and take part!
+ Food &amp; drinks: There will be various options for food and drinks!

EXTRA ACTIVITIES TO BE ADDED SOON, but the main draw of this event is that it will bring hundreds of awesome cars together.


**LOCATION / TIMING**
Location: Kumeu Showgrounds - a venue map will be posted to the event discussion page near the date.
Date: Sunday 1st March, 2026
Time: 11am to 3pm
Car Entry: $10 per CAR for this event, plus a food donation
Spectator Entry: Free, but please take part by donating too!


**SKIDS/ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR**
As usual, we are running a ZERO TOLERANCE setup for this event. We won't allow any risks.
If you skid, or act dangerously inside or outside the venue, we WILL find video of it, and it will be passed on to the NZ Police for you to lose your license. There's a time and a place, this is NOT that time. It's also a charity event, so don't be a muppet…
Anyway - it's going to be an awesome day out, see y’all there!
