This year it was the 30th anniversary of the event, with a record number of cars on the entrant list. Organisers are branding it the largest event ever, with entrants and a whopping , spectators.
It certainly seemed it. Crowds filled the Exhibition Park on a very hot weekend. This year the security seemed pretty lenient toward entrants revving their cars and doing small burnouts. This is particularly entertaining as you not only get to see some very cool creations, but also witness their power. Well, there are various events on throughout the weekend, including Horsepower Hero that sees entrants battle it out on the dyno to fight for the highest engine power. Mark had to leave his father who was terminally ill to venture over to Canberra for the event.
His father helped build the car. Sadly, he passed away while Mark was making the journey over to the event. On another sad note, a young man lost his life in a tragic accident during the event.
He was transported to Canberra hospital before passing away later the same day. Check out our gallery below for a bit of an idea of what was on offer this year. Brett is the editor and founder of PerformanceDrive. After initially working as a mechanic, Brett earned a degree in journalism and entered media as an editorial assistant at Top Gear Australia magazine. Over at the PPG tent, world renowned automotive painter Charley Hutton addressed an audience on all things auto.
Discussing the work carried out by the industry in Australia, Hutton commented specifically on the great education and schooling apprentices receive. You have great programs and that shows in the work you produce. This event is a great example of that work and dedication. PPG MVP Manager Tony Naughton said the day was all about exposure and making sure that those who came through the gates got to see all that PPG had to offer, whether an individual enthusiast or bodyshop owner. So it's about celebrating it all.
The trade exhibitioners hall featured brands and products from a wide array of motoring industries. Melotive, a provider of automotive restoration and surface finishing products, was present at the event, as was its director Peter Lamb.
