The Burt Munro Challenge New Zealand Hill Climb in Southland has been cancelled due to bad weather, and tonight's drag racing event is also in doubt. A post on the organisation's Facebook page this morning said the hill climb could not be run due to strong winds. A decision is yet to be made on whether tonight's planned Harley Davidson Twilight Drag Racing will go ahead.

Westerly gales of up to 120km/h were expected near the coast.
