IMPORTANT NOTICE! MTA Gift Vouchers

19 June 2008

MTA is commencing a new system to track the redemption of Gift Vouchers. This will involve vouchers having MICR ink on the voucher so they can be tracked.
Please note from July 2008 all the vouchers released from MTA will have a hole drilled (top middle) of the voucher. This is to distinguish vouchers released between July 2008 and approximately February 2009 that do not have MICR printing. So please note the vouchers with the hole are perfectly valid.

The document below illustrates the new changes.

Speedshow Motorsport Expo 2008

Speedshow is New Zealand’s only dedicated motorsport expo coming to the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland’s Greenlane over Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2008. After a fantastic inaugural Speedshow at the Manukau events centre in 2007, the 2008 event will feature an even wider range of motorsport-related displays, products and a live action arena. Fans of circuit racing, rallying, speedway, motor bikes, karts, drag racing and performance cars of all types are sure to enjoy Speedshow.

MTA have seized the opportunity to become involved with the Speedshow, as it one of the few hands-on opportunities for people to experience all that motor sport has to offer away from the track. Formula Ford represents one of the great development and learning facilities for drivers in this country, and it has been the starting place for many champions. MTA is proud to be involved with such an event and keen to work with Speedshow organisers to make sure people get a better idea of just what's involved.
