No Stopping, No Burnouts, No Donuts, No Drifting, & No Cutting In or Out of Traffic, remember this is not a race. The cruise session is to be enjoyed by all the participants, so cruise your car with your mates alongside the toughest streetcars, just like the good old days. Do short Powerskids, about 30 meters or so – race anyone you like for as long as you safely can between the chicanes.
789 CRUISE
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. Your invited to be in the 789 Cruise at Powercruise which is where only the fastest cars gets to cruise on their own with no other slower cars around to get in the way. The Hour of Power is still the place to be seen in your fast and clean ride but 789 is the new place for the quickest cars at Powercruise.
POWERSKIDS
As the name suggests, The Powerskid comp is all about showing off your cars raw horsepower and your ability to use that power to toast the bags off the tyres for the longest distance while only using the brake pedal to keep the car under some sort of control. The judges will choose the most awesome display of raw horsepower, driver talent, engine revs, quantity and length of smoke as the Powerskid winner. You’ll have plenty of changes to practice, short Powerskids are permitted in the cruise sessions and there will be both a Powerskid Practice and Competition session throughout the weekend.
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 will be able to flex their muscle alongside the smaller imports and show us their style. While it may look easy, its got a lot to do with the equipment you are driving and knowing what your car is capable of doing that will bring out a few closet drifters.
The Drifting Competition is open to vehicles from registered streetcars to purpose built drift cars. Cars will be let out onto the track at 20 second intervals for safety reasons. Please note that Drifting is NOT permitted on the main straight. 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. At the start of each run your tyres must have the tread pattern. Tyres cannot be changed during the racing.
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.
Cars are not permitted to be refuelled and cannot carry fuel in the car in a container. Only one person is allowed to work on the car and that is the driver. No pit crew are allowed to touch the car. They can however bring you things like drinks and moral support. The car must go all rounds under its own power and ability through to the final.
