A driver has been airlifted to hospital after a high-speed crash at the Meremere Dragway track.
An Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopter spokesman would not confirm if the crash was on the racetrack, but said the man was taken to Waikato Hospital in a serious condition after a "high-speed" crash.
However, aerial photos show the crash happened on the drag track.
The Wellington Invasion event was being held at the Meremere Dragway today.
A post on the Meremere Dragway Facebook page apologised for today's shortened racing session.
One comment on the post said: "Here's hoping the guy is doing OK."
Advertising for the event stated it was round five of the national drag racing championship.
Gary Bogaart, of Meremere Dragway, would not comment when questioned by the Herald.
