DRIFTING
COMP
Generally a favourite of the high tech imports, the drifting comp at Powercruise lends a different flavour where good old Aussie and American Muscle cars and Hot Rods flex their muscleS . . .
The Drifting Competition is open to vehicles from registered streetcars to purpose built drift cars. The top 16 will be chosen from the practice session and will go into the final round with the winner decided after the 16 car battle is completed. Judges are experienced Drifters & Drift Officials from clubs around Australia so the judging is informed & fair.
OFF-STREET RACING
The Off-Street Racing competition is a run what ya brung, no rules, (well not many anyway) heads up race over approximately 200 metres. No timers, No lights, No warming your tyres.
Just a man with a flag to start you. When the flag drops, you’ll need to get the loud pedal to the floor as quickly as possible, and from there it is simple, the first guy over the finish line, wins! You will race against whoever comes up next to you randomly. No queue jumping. Your tyres must have a tread pattern on them. You can use slicks and cut a tread pattern into them. There must be a minimum of 10 marks on the tyres wether around the circumference or across the tyre.
In the case of a rolling start, you will be lined up on a line. You will be motioned to start rolling towards the start line. The flag drops when the front car hits the line. After the race, the winner will receive a winner’s card & must proceed immediately without diversion back to the line up area.
DYNO
SHOOTOUT
If watching the big numbers being punched out on the little screen is for you, then you don’t wanna miss this event.
From high PSI Turbos, nitrous fed monsters and just plain crazy engines, there’s sure to be something that lights your fire in this competition. The rules are simple THERE ARE NO RULES….Unlimited boost, multiple nitrous systems and no fuel restrictions.
The dyno shootout incurs an additional fee of $30. This allows the entrant 3 runs in one class. If you pay for 2 entries, you can enter and have another 3 runs in the same or a different class if you desire. Dyno entrant forms are to be filled out & paid for before the car drives into the dyno enclosure. Street tyres only are to be fitted to the vehicle.
show &
shine
The Show and Shine is always an integral part of Powercruise and so we have now added another category for Competition Cars.
Seeing how Powercruise is more of a driver’s event and therefore attracting more Pro Street style of cars out of their garages it was only fitting to throw a few trophies their way and by adding this category to the Show Class and Street Car Class there will now be something for everyone’s tastes.
To be judged in the Show & Shine, simply display your car with or without your setup in the dedicated Show and Shine area. Our resident Judges will do the rounds and make sure your car gets judged. Once judging is complete, your entrant sticker will be signed, indicating that your vehicle has been judged. Then you are free to do what you like with your car but we would prefer you leave it in the show area for all to see.
789er
The numbers don’t lie.. If your car currently runs in the 7’s, 8’s or 9’s at a drag drip over the ¼ mile…consider yourself at the pointy end of the Powercruise elite.
