Powercruise is a Modified Street Car Event so therefore cars entered into Powercruise must be of a good presentable standard! This means cars need to be complete inside and out (includes a bonnet, front and rear bumper bars and tidy presentable interior), and be fully painted (no undercoat), and no panel damage or mis-matched panels. Minimum Modification requirements will apply
Powercruise is a car show afterall, any cars that don’t meet these standards may either be declined fully, or declined from cruising and limited to the competitive events only. Acceptance is at the promoters discretion.
All Entrant vehicles must go through a Safety Inspection before being given access to the track. The Safety Inspection will take place in the lanes in front of the Accreditation Office. If you are unsure if your car meets the standards please scroll up and submit your car images via the link in the Unreg Cars Section.
It is the Entrants responsibility to ensure your car meets or exceeds the car standards & safety requirements. Even if you have been an entrant before acceptance is not automatic.
Effective immediately, a new safety protocol is being introduced for Powercruise events commencing in January 2024. Our safety inspectors will now focus on essential checks only as listed below, while attendees will be provided with a “Individual Self Safety Check list” form upon arrival. This Individual Self Safety Check list document is to provide evidence to the promoter that the vehicle is fit for purpose as per the event regulations. The form must be completed at their vehicle and submitted along with the entry form, which will be retained by our team. This initiative places the responsibility on each participant to ensure their vehicle meets safety standards, facilitated by the new form. By ticking checkboxes, entrants confirm they have inspected specific components. Our safety inspectors will only conduct a basic check on a the following items.
Our inspectors will confirm the 6 basic items we look for are done.
- Functionality of all brake lights.
- Secure battery clamp.
- Use of roll cage padding (if applicable).
- Compliance with seatbelt regulations, ensuring no single bolt holds more than one seat belt bracket.
- Major oil Leaks
- Overall appearance of the vehicle as a whole to make sure it fits Powercruise terms and conditions
Our inspectors will then affix the Entrant Sticker and the “S” sticker so the entrant to proceed to the next stage being the Driver Briefing Video.
The adequacy of seatbelts in the Holden LC and LJ Torana is currently being looked at by the Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. Powercruise is not equipped to check the adequacy of seatbelts. Consequently and until further notice, Powercruise will not be accepting the LC Torana or some LJ Torana’s unless they were manufactured with 2 bolts holding down 2 front seat belts and not 1 bolt holding down 2 seat belts.
Additional to this, Powercruise will not be accepting any vehicle with 1 bolt mounting more than one seatbelt.
If any LC or LJ Torana is presented with harnesses installed and the single bolt system being physically removed, then they will be accepted by Powercruise.
