The weather in Sydney was shocking in the days leading upto WSID Burnout Bonanza which lead to a number of big hitters pulling the pin, BIGV8, UCSMOKE & Clint Ogilvie’s pink LC. However the rain subsided just in time to get the burnouts underway. There were ~37 cars ready to turn the tyres, from blown big block powered beasts such as YLDTOY to V6 powered cheapys out to smash some tyres and have a bit of fun.

The first thing that springs to mind about Darwin is what a beautiful place it is, great weather, hot back packers and cops that don’t seem too fussed about what speeds you travel at.

Our falcodore couldn’t do anymore than 205 on the speedo (GPS read 201). That’s flatout with four people, luggage and the A/C huffing and puffing – not bad for a stock standard taxi.

What we really went to the top end to see was all the action on track at Darwin Powercruise 13 2008. The biggest standout over the entire powercruise weekend would have to be the crowd. We’ve traveled all over Australia for events and not one single place has had the same atmosphere.

Gazza Nationals hit Calder Park for the first time and looks set to be kick some ass in years to come. Entrants cruised Calders track all weekend, dropping thick sets up and down the back straight, lighting up the ¼ mile with powerskids and drag racing.

Dial Your Own Drags

This is the ultimate equalizer when it comes to drag racing, power is taken out of the equation and skill of a driver is all that matters. Entrants set their dial in number after doing a couple of warm runs.

It was looking as though Powercruise 12 might have to be called off due to rain early on in the week in Sydney. However the skies opened up and the sun beamed down to provide perfect weather for the entire weekend that would be Powercruise 12.

The largest Powercruise to date with 913 entrants in total, cars had to be turned away as there just wasn’t enough room to cram more in. Makes you think that next year is only going to get bigger, perhaps WSID and Eastern Creek could be used in 2009.
