More than 100 "boy racer" vehicles converged on a commercial car park in Queenstown at the weekend, apparently part of a car enthusiasts club. Senior Sergeant Paula Enoka, of Queenstown, said the "unusual" gathering was held in the Mitre 10 carpark, on the Frankton Flats, between about midnight on Saturday and 2am Sunday. "I can’t say they were doing anything illegal, but a number [of vehicles] had modifications — some lawful, some not." Sergeant Chris Brooks, who attended the gathering, said he was disappointed the group decided to use a private car park. "Business owners and operators are already under enough pressure and this is just something they don’t need to deal with."
