In addition to the events shown last week from Powercruise, there was also the Sound Off & DB Drag Racing Competition, run by Taupo’s Insane Car Audio, where competitors aimed for the highest stereo decibel reading. A bikini comp, which needs no explanation, although, in contrast to many similar competitions, there wasn’t a complaint to be heard about the calibre of entrant. Local lass Kimberly Powell was deemed to be better than the rest, and took home the inaugural title of Miss Powercruise NZ.

Throughout the day, a Show and Shine was being judged, thanks to Nulon. The show awards were split into three categories: Show Class, Street Class and Competition Class. Show pony Jarrod Mahon in his stunning QUPNCY HT Monaro took home no less than five awards out of the seven on offer in the Show Class. Street Class saw a much wider mix of winners with everything from T-Buckets, Skylines, Triumph Stags, Camaros and Commodores taking home impressive-looking trophies.

Competition Class was the domain of the tubbed cars, with Reece Fish’s twin-turbo ‘56 Chev taking out Top Judged Engineering, Ross Mission’s late-model Holden ute taking out ‘Tough As’, and Darren Saunders/Sheryl Brokenshire’s SS540 Camaro taking home Top Engine Bay thanks to its newly fitted 454 crate motor complete with supercharger atop.
