Big day of cars, babes, noise and jet cars at Westpactruststadium. When we left for 2hot2handle gray clouds were rolling over (thought, dang if it rains no car action) but as we entered town it was sunny as. We parked the car and walked what seemed like a 30 miles to the stadium, after paying the $25 entry fee our first site was a humvee and a line of about 10 new minis, we heard a racket and ran to the edge of the multi storey car park and witnessed the first coolness, a monster truck crushing cars. We stood here for about an hour watching the drag races and such, they closed off Waterlooo Quay (a main entrance to the city) for the race strip.
We entered into the stadium where all the show cars were being displayed, my first site was a chopper, love these things.
Walking around the stadium they had all types of vehicles, classic cars, imports, hot rods, super cars, army vehicles, bikes, all sorts of stuff. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
Some of the custom jobs on the imports were pretty out of it, custom audio and entertainment systems, custom paint jobs, I always wander how the afford all this.
After circling the stadium a few times we headed outside for the night parade, picked a spot about 3-4 meters ground level near the race track. Parade started out with some Irish foot stomping then on to an Elvis impersonator (who was actually pretty good) and the announcer even sang some Meat Loaf. Then came the double decker bus, vintage cars, classic cars, hot rods. All the promo girls from the stadium were in the parade and also some dancers from a local strip club (hehe?).
After this things got pretty hard out, 3 drifting cars entered the track, going pretty hard all over the place, I was surprised none of them crashed, those dudes can drive, at the end of that they smoked the track out something bad.
The jet cars were something I was really looking forward to at this event, I haven't got any photos of them coz at the time I was freaked out. See the photo above that's where the 2 jet cars were positioned, when they started up it wasn't to bad but when the after burners started to kick in you could feel the shock pulse through your body and when they really kicked in everyone (including me) ran for any kind of protection, people nearly got knocked of their feet.
The nitro funny car was something I didn't know much about, all I knew was they were talking about it exploding over the load speaker all day, so I was a bit freaked. It took off like a rocket and it wasn't even a proper run.
The whole day was awesome, well worth the $25, I really wanted to go to the second day but hey there's always next year.
I need a new camera LOL.
