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.

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.

Having spoken to a few Americans about the types of events they have over there, Powercruise will absolutely smash everything they currently have. It will also be nice to see a few Aussie burnout machines get taken over there to show these guys what a real burnout is. Look for any videos of American burnouts and you’ll be staring at static hole diggers!

Tassie experienced their very first Powercruise over the weekend past. Everyone was pumped that an event like this was coming to Tasmania. The weather was perfect for the entire event. There was plenty of film crews on hand taking photos and shoots for magazines.

Gup brought down his famous Elvis HQ, Mentle in his Tuff camaro. Steve Loader in his tuff as HG Holden. We also had Victor and Ben Bray with their burnout cars to put on a display for the Tassie people. Also 50Man showed his skills in his Commodore drift car. What a display he put on with 360 donuts at high speeds.
