About us

Landspeed New Zealand Association

Landspeed New Zealand was formed to foster and promote landspeed racing in New Zealand. Kiwis have always had the urge to push their machines to the limit, to see just how fast they will really go, and until now there has been no local organisation that supports us in this effort.

The association was formed in 2016, when it officially became an incorporated society – a copy of our certificate of incorporation is available here.

The first AGM was held in Hamilton on the 9th of April 2017.

In 2022 we became Tax Exempt as we are a Nonprofit Association.

The current 2025 elected officers of the association are:

Committee Member President – John Seccombe
Committee Member Secretary Arno Human
Committee Member Marketing & Web master Monique Human
Committee Member Treasurer and Accountant – Mark Hunter
Committee Member Event and Pit Manager – Rick Brenchley
Committee Member Motorcycle tech help – Mike Wilkins
Committee Member Motorcycle Tech Inspector – Ed Dekker
Committee Member Car Tech Inspector – Glen Collins
Committee Member Timing and Electronics- Matt Way
Committee Member Equipment hire- John Somerville
Committee Member Engineering & Resources- Tim Strange

All positions within the Landspeed New Zealand are honorary and voluntary. Many of the office bearers and committee compete as well as officiate at our annual Speed Trials, not to mention the untold hours spent organizing and answering queries during the year all whilst trying to make a living and keep the family happy.

All members of the Landspeed New Zealand are truly indebted to these people for without them, there would be no LSNZ and no racing. Keep an eye on this website and our Facebook page for news on upcoming events.

Refund story: The best excuse I had from a guy booked and paid on the Friday morning, Saturday morning he rung desperate could he cancel and get refund as his wife went ballistic when he told her and she said no its not happening ! So ensure your wife knows first and get her to check no Weddings on that weekend, or your anniversary holiday on that date!
