Hi
It 27th - 30th March at Eastern Creek in Sydney https://www.powercruise.com/ My
son has about 15 mates going most with R31 Skylines.
It fills me with pride when I meet my sons friends for the first time and they have heard my exploits from my son, a son bragging about his dad, its
usually me bragging about what great son he is, there I go again .
Steve
ps just in case you missed an article that he wrote for ZOOM when he was working in magazines

Hi
Had a blast yesterday, going out again soon. I'm the only Beetle there. It just like driving down Pararmatta Road in the 70s and having a race with
random people
Videos soon

Hi
Just got back, had a fantastic time, my Beetle was very well received and most people asked why there was no other VWs there.
I would recommend this event to anyone, so if your VW drag car has a cooling system and your tied of using it one 1/4 at time you should go to this
event, you can drive in shorts and thongs so you could take girlfriends or sponsors out for a ride.
You can drive around the track in cruising sessions and line up against other cars for quick blast to the next corner, its so much fun.
They have drags up the main straight, no lights just the drop of hand from the starter, just like birickies used to be.
I went in the drags and won 2 lost 2.
The event has a reputation as a bogan gathering, not true, talking to other entrants I never struck a bogan, although did feel a little over dressed
at times and I'm thinking about growing my Mullet back
Videos soon.
Steve

Way cool Steve. I bet you turned sons heads.
Great you are getting out there with the car after so much work
I went to power cruise a number of years back in Darwin with mine. Probably a smaller event but still enjoyed.
Somehow wrangled a few awards which was cool.

Hi Reub
Good on you for the special mention. It was great to get out and drive around with like minded people, you do have to keep your wits about you, dont
drive into heavy tyre smoke, keep an eye on your mirrors and give cars doing skids lots of room.
It was so much fun having quick races on the roll with Evos, Skylines, rotors etc
Steve

aero guards make it, looks tough.....totally disagree with vlad though. Happy laps and power cruises are always fun, can't wait to get mine out for
some random track fun thanks for sharing the vids
