Self-confessed petrol heads have put their shoulder to the wheel to help Masterton Motorplex on its way to launching drag racing from its new drag strip at Solway.
A group of contractors who share a love of motor sport have banded together to work without pay, developing a road into the complex from Manaia Rd, a distance of 1.2km.
Masterton contractor Steve Carlsen has been excavating the path the road is to take using his digger, John Simpson arrived from Hastings with his truck to cart metal for road construction, and Neil Macdonald fronted up from Mangatainoka bringing a grader.
Others who have joined the ranks of the volunteers have been Kerran Oliver, Todd Johnson, Murray Weston and Kerry Martin.
Masterton Motorplex chairman Bob Wilton said the drag racing fraternity was "really thankful" for the support shown by the unpaid workers.
