Not sure why you refer Motorvation as "same as Summernats" as apart from having Modified cars & people in the one place they differ a very lot.

Anyway....

Our very own 2WILD4U was in the elite hall and all elite cars came out to do some driving events and cruise.

Bit of a woopsy in the Slalom event someone forgot to stage and just drove through not completing the course.

I apologise in advance for the darkness of the video and for some reason the sound didnt come across as good when uploading.

That LS2 LX was insane when it came out for the elite supercruise it was angry as looks super quick and finished superbly.
All the torries in the elite tent were awsome and the ones in the driveing events were a pleasure to watch and hear .
I managed to get FATSLR up to the motorplex in one piece just, steering was feeling progressively worse on drive up on Friday arvo ande car had not been tuned atall since i got it back together and was running average.
Had a few too many beers Friday night and met some good people and it seemed lots of crew had only just managed to get their cars together for the weekend met a guy from Bunbury who has just put an LS1 into his LH done nearly all work himself nice effort.
Got up Saturday morning first engine fired about 6.30 first rubber laid 7.30 went to check my steering out and yanked steering wheel around then it just freespun my steering coupling had completely torn and come off the safety pins unbelievable i new it was getting worse on the way up but that is rediculous.
I am lucky to be alive so anyway spent 1/2 a day driveing around Perth [not in my car obviously] getting parts to repair her.
There was some great burnouts Saturday night there are some guys there that really know how to drive the SNAKEPIT .
After the burnouts finished went back to have a few more quiet beers before bed and a quick walkaround .Unfortunately for me we were camped in close proximaty to the Supra club of Perth who brought there own big screen Doof Doof show/rave to the motorplex pumping out the same Doof over and over and over at 300 decibels till bloody 3 in the morning .
I didnt work my arse off on my car and drive 3 hours to Perth to go to a rave Whistles and all i would have sworn i was on the set of The Fast and The Furious
I know i am getting a bit older now but i am over that sh*t .
The security was full of new Australians been in the country 2 minutes and should have been called parking attendants .
The only comeback was when in the morning another disgruntled Falcon owner in neighbouring site to the rave fired up his car and gave them a bit of real music (V8 Engine) which was met with a large harah fom many .
Managed to replace my coupling and go for a bit of a cruise but the car is a longway from being onsong .
Drove her home in 1 piece put her in the shed and walked away swearing to not touch it for a few days but i allready want to tinker with it and try and get it right.
All i can say is i cant wait for Nostalgia Drags Feb16 there wont be any bling bling doof doof blow off valve hat sideways undies hanging out ravers there.

LOL I saw the doof doof screen ans all the speakers and though thank gawd we werent staying around for that.

Had I known that FATSLR was a car & member from here I would have stopped to say hi.

[fatslr]

No worries Tinkers that is one sick torrie you have got there 2WID4U looked and went awsome are you going to run it at Nostalgia drags.
I am quite suprised there hasn't been a few more comments made about the show as Torries would have probably outnumbered anything else in the elite tent go the Torrie

[sainters]

the rice burner cars shouldnt be aloud in the supercruises they come out and they all back fired when they tryied to do a burn out . maybe a little to many commodores should be muslce cars only

Car was beautiful Garth. I was Phil from the croud behind you, WA Kustomz. Was good to meet you out there and good to see you got the car up and going again!

Did anyone see the registered Green GTR with the 308 in it? I want to have a chat with him. I didnt get a chance to over the weekend.

I agree with Garth, the Supra WA boys went a bit over the top with noise. Next year they should allocate an area with music and a bar so the noisy people move over there.

Congrats tis nice to get something back for the hard work put in.

[MODNIZD]

Yeah Nathan Congrats mate! Your car looked sooooo good! I didnt get to see it in action but all i can say is wow.

[fatslr]

Same Same it is very inspirational for me to see what you have achieved one of the highlights of the show for me was watching you and 8NOFAKER side by side down the strip i packed up early and left while the burnout finals were on a mate tells me the KINGA was robbed into 2nd for burnout comp.
What actually won grand champ this year?

[tinkers]

cut n paste from the motorplex webpage

The Motorvation Grand Champion was Chris Dicker with his sweet HQ (Monaro) while Darren 'Diesel' Williams nudged out Steve Sines in 'Kinger' by a mere 1 point to take the Motorvation Burnout Champion title in a drama filled final on Sunday.


Motorvation Result list

Looks like if you had a Holden or Chev you were on the money to win something.
2 Torana's in the top 10 2WILD4U is 3rd on the list (I'd take that as a 3rd overall LOL) and Vince Belladonna's torana won Muscle Car - Top Judged
