2005 POWERCRUISE MOVES TO EASTERN CREEK
Hi fellow petrol heads, �Gup� here.
For anyone that doesn�t know me, I own, invented, funded and made possible the concept of POWERCRUISE and with my team of 110% dedicated car show nuts, we put on what I think is the next level in automotive entertainment.
A few things have been happening and now POWERCRUISE 3 will not be held in Queensland in 2005. I am moving the event to Eastern Creek International Raceway in Sydney at Easter (March 24-27). I just wanted to let you all know that I am a fighter. I won�t have anyone tell me I can�t have the best car show in Australia. POWERCRUISE is a mad weekend of high horsepower weapons doing what they were built for and not for sitting around in a show �n shine or in a mother-duck cruise.
We would have had at least 500 people call and e-mail in the last 6 months wanting to know if POWERCRUISE was going interstate. Eastern Creek Raceway management has the same vision as I do and a deal has been struck. Sydney will be the next stage on the POWERCRUISE horizon so I can keep the dream alive of having the biggest, baddest, toughest machinery cutting loose in the manner they should be.
NSW & VIC guys and girls have certainly got some impressive machinery, so this will be their chance to show the 4000 odd people that bought the last POWERCRUISE DVD that they too can rock with the best QLD has to offer and take home a share of the $20000 in cash and prizes. So help us bring on the next level of automotive entertainment at POWERCRUISE 3, Easter 2005 at Sydney�s Eastern Creek International Raceway.

Well thats pretty fu(ked . I'm sick of having to always go south for a decent car event.
Ok I have just read the full story on this topic on qsc. I feel for Gup and the way he has been treated. I will go to Sydney to support this event if I can. I doubt it but I will try. Besides my family live 10 mins from Eastern creek so free accom

yeah... its because willow bank raceway always just hired the track out to powercruise event coordinators... then this yr willowbank boys wanted in on the whole powercruise thing... like sponsor an be a big part of it (more to it) an Gup dont want anything from them in that way.. so tension was building so thats why its gettin moved down south

30-10-04, 11:21 GMT+10#12 like other people have mentioned this leaves the door open for some opportunistic **** to take over and make another decent event similar to that of powercruise.

02-11-04, 11:24 GMT+10#16 Thats fu<ked up... I went to the first PowerCruise and it was awesome.. had some financial difficulty so i couldnt get to the last one - was hanging out REAL bad for the next one..... and now its going down to Sydney.... what a load !!!! I am really dissapointed to whoever decided/forced/made this event piss off from QLD... NSW'ers at least have Summernats not too far away from home (ACT), and now QLD has NOTHING big... I'm PI55ED at this
