Held between the 26th of February and the 1st of March 2009, the 17th installation of the Powercruise event proved to be yet another sell out event. Every year this show proves to grow in numbers from entrants to spectators. It is a refreshing site to see that off-street drag events are mixed up with drifting, the show and shine and the expected hot laps around the track.

 The burnout competition proved popular as always and had some of the best smoke to cover the Sydney skyline in a while. It was good to see that a variety of tough cars mixed it up on the tarmac including old school classics, new hi-tech cars and the random 4wd. The event was eventually won by a very deserving orange Holden ute and owner Rob Godfrey.

We applaud the efforts of not only the organisers and sponsors, but also of the entrants and the spectators. Without their friendliness, tolerance and competitive edge, the event would not be as much of a success as it turned out to be.
