'''Cemetery Circuit''' is a temporary motorcycle street racetrack in downtown [[Wanganui]], [[New Zealand]]. It was named because the track circles the old town cemetery. The daylong meeting is traditionally held on [[Boxing Day]] (26 December) each year and has been running since 1951. It attracts around 10,000 spectators and some of the best New Zealand motorbike racers to compete on the tight one-mile street circuit. It also has a nickname: “Southern Hemisphere’s [[Isle of Man]]”.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.aatravel.co.nz/101/Regional101_Cemetery-Circuit.html|title=Cemetery Circuit |
