Welcome to Powercruise

The Wildest Cruising Car Show You'll Ever Go To!!

Powercruise is Australia’s and New Zealand’s premier modified car event, and known as the place where you can do everything that you’re not allowed to do anywhere else. Powercruise really is the next level in Automotive Entertainment, and now Powercruise is coming to the United States of America.

Powercruise events allow YOU to drive YOUR car on the track along with other like minded petrol heads in the cruising sessions, where you can cruise next to the toughest Modified Street Machines, Hot Rods, Imports or Drag cars wether their turbo charged, supercharged, nitrous injected, naturally aspirated or however it is you like your engines to be…all with your family and friends in the car with you!.

Then we have events like Powerskids, Off Street Drags(old style street flag drop you get the picture!!) Drifting, Burnouts Aussie style, Dyno comps, Show & Shine, Miss Powercruise stage shows, camping and heaps more fun stuff that can only be explained in our DVD clips.

We are currently working on bringing Powercruise events to Brainerd International Raceway MN, Watkins Glen NY, Road America WI and a few other tracks around the country. As dates are set and venue’s are confirmed we will update this page with all of the important information.

As the Powercruise concept is new to American’s, we figured the best way to explain to you what Powercruise is all about, was to show you, so check out our Utube Channel with clips which highlight a single day at an Australian Powercruise event in just 10 minutes… It’s Addictive… VIEW CLIP HERE

You can also watch our Driver Briefing Video which explains what you can and can’t do on track at Powercruise… VIEW DRIVER BRIEFING VIDEO HERE

Check out our photo gallery which has hundreds of photos from Powercruise events in Australia and New Zealand, and there are also some photos from us on the 2010 Hot Rod Power Tour.

Michael Gilbert is the creator of the Powercruise concept and as such has the modified car to back it up. Michael ('Gup' as he is known) has been playing with big horsepower cars since he was 15 years of age and has had a large selection of tough streetcars and Pro Street cars and currently has a 1969 Camaro which runs 7.70’s at 185mph. He also swaps that same engine into his Holden HQ sedan which is a 540ci Chev force fed by a 106mm Turbonetics turbo, Powerglide and 9inch rear with 3.25 gears for long top end tyre smoking action.

Basically 'Gup' started Powercruise because he wanted somewhere for himself and his mates to play up in their highly modified cars so he chose to hire race track venues around the world to get his fix of speed and fun because it’s simply too unsafe and illegal to do all these things on the roads these days. So finding a place where you can everything your not allowed to do on the roads anymore was the driving force behind the Powercruise concept. Check out some of the pictures HERE and you’ll see just how many people have followed him to the tracks to get their fix of fun in their modified cars with their friends.

Of course we also have a long list of safety rules that apply to the events and these can be found on our Australian site in the entrants section and but all of this imformation is also provided to Entrants before they come to a Powercruise event so while all the action does look a little wild, it’s certainly well controlled with over 30 events in 8 years of experience to our name.

In the mean time make sure you register your details to receive more information on Powercruise events in USA by clicking ‘Join Our Mailing List’ button just at the top right of this webpage, and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest news by email newsletters. Or if you have any questions about Powercruise or want to get involved either as a local assistant or sponsor or exhibitor or just a guy with a car that can help us spread the word or Powercruise… just drop us an email to [email protected] and we’ll go from there.

Catch Ya Cruisin…. Gup

We'll of course be rocking it at the Powercruise. This looks to be amazing. I juist wanted to spread the word for this amazing event.
