The annual show, held at Pukekohe Park Raceway this year, saw more than 170 immaculate rigs parked up on display
Last month, the Deals on Wheels team brought you coverage of the Turners Truck and Machinery Show 2018 and substantiated what an excellent event it was. The event was moved from the Kumeu Showgrounds to the Pukekohe Park Raceway, which proved to be an outstanding venue to host the day’s activities.
As reported in the last issue, the annual show had something for everyone, and there was a buzz of activity everywhere you looked. In this month’s instalment, we focus on the UDC Finance Show and Shine and some highlights from the show.
From 7am on Sunday morning, trucks descended on the Pukekohe Park Raceway in droves, coming from all directions and parking up on the serene tree-lined grass areas beside the race track proper. By the time the last truck rolled through the gates, more than 170 immaculate rigs were parked up on display for the general public to admire.
The activities carried on throughout the day and later in the afternoon, the Show and Shine truckers were invited to do several laps around the race track. More than 100 trucks took part, which made for an impressive sight.
Prize-giving followed, with the stunning Northchill T900 Kenworth Legend winning the coveted ‘People’s Choice’ trophy.
The 2018 Turners Truck and Machinery Show was a huge success this year with the organisers pledging to make the event even bigger and better in 2019.
