Spectators
General Info
For those who know what Powercruise is all about, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you it’s just the wildest cruisin car show you’ve ever been to. For everyone else, I guess all I can say is get yourself out to the racetrack to check out what all the fuss is about.
Powercruise to the average punter is a car show but to the thousands who have participated over the 9 years that we have been bringing you the fun, will tell you its more than a car show. Powercruise is one of the reasons we build our street machine, hot rods, hi tech imports or what ever your preferred style of car is. This page is designed to answer any questions that you have in regards to being a spectator.

Passenger Cruising
Over the weekend there will be hours of cruising, so spectators can jump in their mates car, and cruise the track alongside hundreds of like-minded petrolheads… that’s what Powercruise is about after all… doing all the things you’re not allowed to do anywhere else! However there are a few special requirements all passengers should be aware of…
All passengers who want to get on track in the cruising sessions MUST be at least 13 years of age, have a Powercruise admission ticket to the event and each passenger must have an official Powercruise passenger wristband. Official Powercruise passenger wristbands are available at the Powercruise merchandise stand at the event. All passengers must complete the Powercruise passenger waiver form and pay the $10* passenger fee, once this is done Powercruise staff will issue you a Powercruise passenger wristband. Please read carefully below to ensure you meet the requirements:
Persons 18yrs of age and older must have a valid Powercruise admission ticket to the event, provide Photo ID and fill out and sign the indemnity form, pay the $10* Fee and a Passenger Wristband will be provided. No matter your age, No Photo ID = No passenger wristband.
Persons 13 years of age and over, but younger than 18 years of age must have a valid Powercruise admission ticket to the event, provide Photo ID for themselves, and have a PARENT present to sign the indemnity form on their behalf. Powercruise staff need to sight both the parent’s ID and the child’s photo ID, both must also show the date of birth. Powercruise staff will also request to sight the Medicare Card listing both the Parents and Childs Names as proof of relationship. Powercruise reserve the right to request further identification or documentation if the requirements are not satisfied.
Powercruise staff will only accept the legal parent to sign on behalf of a minor to be a passenger – we cannot accept other family members, step parents, day carers/guardians, neighbours, family friends etc. Passenger wristbands can only be issued on the day at Powercruise. We do not accept notes, letters or permission via phone from parents if they cannot attend – Both the Parent and the Minor must be present at the event at the same time to complete the paperwork under the instruction of a Powercruise Staff Member. Once both the parent and the child have completed and signed the indemnity form and paid the $10* fee, a passenger wristband will be provided.
Persons 12 years of age and younger are unfortunately too young and cannot be a passenger in a vehicle at Powercruise. Admission is Free for Kids 12 & Under
Powercruise Passenger Rules & Requirements are not flexible or negotiable. Passenger Wristbands do not entitle that person to drive. Event Admission is additional to Passenger $10* Fee.
*The Passenger Sign on fee is discounted to $10 for Powercruise Ticket Holders Only (Full Price is $20). Passengers are permitted during the cruising sessions, and at some events, 1 front passenger is permitted in the Burnout events/sessions, this can vary from event to event, please check each events program for more information.
Helmets and safety gear is not required to ride in a car during the cruise sessions, but passengers are required to wear a seatbelt at all times. Events where a passenger in the burnouts is permitted, this person is required to wear all the same safety gear as the driver; which is a helmet, enclosed shoes, and neck to wrist to ankle non flammable clothing. Powercruise strongly recommends anyone who is pregnant, not participate in any on track activities in any way, and to seek their own medical advice. All passengers must be suitably restrained to the satisfaction of Powercruise Staff and Officials. All Passenger Wristbands are issued at the discretion of Powercruise Staff and Powercruise Staff reserve the right to decline or retract passenger wristbands or participation at their discretion at any time. Passenger wristbands must be kept on for the duration of your time at the Powercruise Event. Any cut or tampered wristbands are null and void and will be confiscated without discussion. Passenger Rules & Requirements are subject to change without notice.
Passenger sign on will also be available at the Powercruise Accreditation Office at the event for any parents that are attending just to sign their child up, the accreditation office is located outside the venue so this can be done without parents having to go into the event and pay admission – call Powercruise on 0407 172 413 for more information or if you can’t find the Accreditation Office.
