NZ Motorsport: Powercruise

Powercruise is another one of those car events that helps combat illegal activities on the road. It enables people to go for a hoon with their mates on a safe race track with plenty of runoff and safety marshall's.

The event features many different activities such as the burnout contest. This helps stop people from doing illegal burnouts on the street and is also safe for the crowd and drivers because if something breaks on their car their is less risk of people getting injured. There is also another type of burnout contest called the powerskid competition where the driver must perform the longest straight line burnout without using any form of braking.

The most popular event is the cruise where you can drive your custom car around a race track with your mates and family in the car. The speed is restricted so it is relatively safe to cruise around the track. You can still skid around but just under the restricted speed limit. You can drive around in anything as long as it is safe to drive which means it is more accessible to car enthusiasts who can't afford to go and race.

There is also drag racing at Powercruise and some pretty cool machinery turns up. This ranges from old school classic muscle cars to wound up JDM import cars. Another type of racing held at Powercruise is the off-street races which enable people to race against each other without the pressures of lap times or starting lights.

There is also an awesome car show that is full with custom built show cars and classic cars such as this 1968 Dodge Charger.

Overall, the range of cars and events that are held at Powercruise is so diverse which is great as it makes it more interesting to go to and means that there is something for everyone.
