NOT YOUR TYPICAL CAR SHOW

​2024 BIGGER AND BETTER!

We are back again ... excited to welcome you all to Mangakino Lakehop 2024.

Not just Hotrods but a display of horsepower from land, air and water. ​With the heart of petrol and horsepower the focus, we welcome anything that relates to this. So, no matter what you drive, ride or have to display, as long as it is horsepower related then we are interested in displaying it. The more left field the better. If you have a specific display, as long as it is compliant with OSH regulation reach out and let's spread the love of horsepower to the masses.

  

​SPONSORSHIP

We are always looking for sponsors. If you would like to get involved reach out to mangakinolakehop@gmail.com and let's start chatting.

WEIRD AND WONDERFUL

If you have something of interest in your shed that is petrol or horsepower related, register it and bring it along for all to see.

ABOUT LAKE HOP​

The first Mangakino Lake Hop was in 2019. The idea came about over a dinner conversation amongst a few lads who love holidaying in Mangakino and are passionate about their classic cars. They decided between them they could rally together 15 - 20 cars and would call it a car show. Needless to say, everyone was overwhelmed when the event went on to receive 220 registered vehicles. This left the organisers with no option but to run the event again. The 2020 hop had more than 450 registered vehicles and thousands of attendees.

Each year has seen the level of fun continue with over 500 registered vehicles. Not just hotrods but planes, race boats, and drag cars. There has never been a dull moment with The GP race boats doing passes at 150MPH on the water, Jetsprint displays and the massive acrobatic display by 2 Russian Yak fighter planes.
