So Power cruise is coming up shortly, anyone from here thinking of going?

ill be there with my AE86.

if your thinking that its a event for all the big powered tyre shredding machines then your sadly mistaken, any car can go, take ya daily give it a thrash who cares what ya got just get out and have some fun.

for the price of the event it is really good value, 3 days of drift, drag, burnouts, dyno's, cruising etc... all for $130 if you pay before 10/1/2011 after that its $180 and after that cut off its $240. so if your gonna go get in early AKA Right NOW! and get in on it.

its held at eastern creek, camping is $50 for the 4 days of the event.

For all the info click here (http://www.powercruise.com/?site=sydney)


Hope to see some other AE86 & xE7x drivers there.

this event sounds good. i have never been and pen15 and i where thinking of taking our cars out this year. who ever has been in the past.

1) do you get decent track time ( drifting )
2) That total price you pay is that for 1 day or the whole event?

cheers

cheers

that is a total cost for the 4 day event, but normally day 1 is just set up the tent and get settled in, the rest of the days are track fun. i havent been ,myself but i have mates that go every year, they say the drifters get to go out for about 1-2 hours at a time in 20min sessions each day the 1 cost to get in gets you into all the events except the dyno comp but its only $30 extra on the dyno day. so you can spend all day on the track if you and your car can handle it but you would have to run each event, but still for the price its awesome. check out the web site mentioned in the first post for all the info.

My mate had a carport last year, which is $500 i think, much better then a garage, can go out in the cruise's when ever you want as you get a pit lane sticker. there for you dont need to line up for the cruise's , which sometimes you can be waiting for hours so you miss out on stuff.

im hanging for it to come, this year will be my fourth time there.

hhmmm sounds pritty good.

1) if you plan to camp there and also leave your car and gear there is it safe. ( if tent is far from car lot )
2) you say (drifters get to go out for about 1-2 hours at a time in 20min sessions each day) That sounds almost to good to be true? Lol

Cool, i started some prep work on my car ... check it out i just updated my build ...

Faceplant456
3rd January 2011, 12:06 AM
its good, but most of the drift cars are all boosted nissans and stuff, we gonna have to push our cars to keep up.

camping has 2 types, if you get in early on the thursday you will get a spot where you park ya car next to ya tent. if you arrive friday you might get one like that anything after friday you gotta park in a car park and wander to the camp grounds

86TRD
3rd January 2011, 12:30 AM
^^^ not true, although we have always gotten there on the day it starts we have never had troubles with parking next to where you camp, i wouldnt worry about that.
With leaving your stuff at the tents we have done so and never had anything go missing.

the best thing about the drift sessions is that it is practice ... i know i need more practice with it but this is an option to go out and do it legally and if you spin your not gonna end up in a poll or gutter for the price you pay to enter you may aswell try it. hell you could enter the burnout comp if you want, you entry to the event gives you entry to every event for the 3 days, except the dyno comp but thats only $30 extra on the day.

why not spectate from on the track in your car ... first class seats and you get to see every corner, then once your all hyped up you can give it ago.

that is very convinceing. when is cut off? id rather pay 180 than 240.

i'll ssee if i can come up wwith some money.
and i do like to do burnouts :)

Faceplant456
14th January 2011, 06:44 PM
the $180 cut off is 18/2/11 which is a monday. after that its $240

kk sweet thanks for that. gotta pull my finger out now. new clutch and semi's for the front is needed!

16th February 2011, 06:38 PM
2 days left untill the $180 cut off, after that its $240 if you haven't done it yet i would EXPRESS POST it tomorrow ASAP!

i did mine already in the $180 cut off. Also when you send in your application you must include pic's of your car rego'ed or not, so they can see if its worthy of entering. you can do that by putting some photos in the post with your forms or you can email them, email is good as they will give you a reply the next day, but include some info about the car, as when they looked at my photos they didnt think it was worthy of powercruise as it was to "Stock looking"
but after explaining the build to them it was accepted. so include info about your engine, driveline, suspension , brake upgrades etc... this will help you get in.

the photo's you must send require a exterior shot and a interior shot.

Fuck you are a hard fucker to find, and when I find the car, its locked up and no keys in site, how was I meant to take it for a skid. Got some shots of your spin hahaha (not very good, ran out of zoom, sister needs a bigger lense for when i take her camera hahaha), turn 9 is a bitch isn't it.

Anyone else go out? I had an ok, day, but had to take my nephew home before anything decent happened, fuckers didn't run any drags till 2 littlebugger was ready for a nap by 1 (when powerskids were supposed to be on, not 3 like they were), so he went home, sucked bigtime.

What happened around 5? i was leaving and heard some shit about people not behaving appropriatley

yea lol so you saw that spin, Haha that was my first run today for the drift " Finals" i thought i would go all out haha i overcooked it on turn 4 ( the first one we started on ) and met the ripple strip a little bit but its all good, i actually have a video of that run and some good photos when i spun but i wasnt doing to bad seeing as my first real drift was only on friday. i think i progressed fairly well over the weekend. ill post up the pic's soon and the video to match.

as for what happened at 5 alot of guys were just being idiots and had their arm bands removed, that held alot of us up.
