Brett Stevens arrested in a major drug bust :

“A year-long operation targeting trafficking, manufacturing and large-scale distribution of illicit drugs culminated today with police storming 15 properties in South-East Queensland.

Five people, including a 44-year-old Narangba man believed to be a prominent member of the Gold Coast drag-racing fraternity, were arrested.

The man was charged with producing the drug MDMA, growing cannabis and supplying amphetamines.

Police also seized an estimated $6.1 million worth of cash and property, including six high-performance cars and five motorcycles. All the vehicles were seized from a property near Yatala, south of Brisbane.

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!

Revfest had its final run in Wagga last year and a new location was promised but not yet decided upon. It has now been announced that Revfest will be held in Wollongong for 2008. Where exactly has not yet been disclosed, but i’m sure Arby will choose great location. Wollongong has been a hotspot for modified cars for as far back as I can remember and this seems to be the very first time they’ve had any events in their home town.

The final location and event details will be announced in the coming months. Revfest 2008 should be held sometime during October.

Rumour has it that Ahmet has sold Supernats to Chic Henry (Summernats owner/organiser), also word is that Chic made an offer to buy Powercruise from Gup, but Gup wasn’t interested. Looks alot like Chic is looking to start a brand to take events around Australia much like Powercruise.

No matter what is going on behind the scenes, there is definitely room for another Australia wide brand of events. Both spectators and entrants win, so we’re going from a time of having events few and far between to having events nearly every single weekend. Be interesting to see what happens event wise over the coming 12 months, I think a number of promoters are beginning to want for more than one event per year.
