Motivation seems to be losing its way a fair bit .I think its trying to hard to please everyone but this seems to hurt another group of people .
I also think it favors the late models a bit Why I don't know it maybe because they enter ealy and theres a lot but they are everywhere every day so why would you pay 38 dollars to see them in show when theres just as much in the car park .
I have said it before and I will say it again theres got to be a better way to choose cars .
I would like to see import cars and late models kept to the ones that deserve it not the one that make up numbers as they do have their own shows .
I think last year hurt a few of the early model cars so the numbers might have been down due to this .
Plus the entery fee as a spectator and enterant is very high .

I would guess so, he didnt look too happy at the time. Gave a sickening 'crunch' as it hit.

I do agree to a point, Tony did you enter your car in? I was keeping an eye out for it and didn't manage to see it on the day.

I did see you on whitfords av though the other week at the lights near the shopping centre, gave you a thumbs up

That was funny, 4 of 5 blew their load, one that didn't only went for 30 odd seconds. One of the vs's went for a fair while, stopped, and two seconds later BANG. ha ha.

Agree there was too many late model cars, also seemed to be much bigger holden tunout.
So sick of gen3 ss's lowered with rims, sure some had superchargers but still didnt stand out for me, waaay too many of them.
Loved the supercharged green ef xr8ute 974hp amazing. Stood out so much compared to that big group of gm gear surrounding it. Entering my car for sure next year.

I didn't enter this year as I am a believer in if its not different this year then why would people want to see it again the same way .
I would like to do some more work this winter to the car and then if all goes well enter next year .

On that day I took the car out that happened alot but I can remember whitfords lights Thanks

I think its time to have another show that is truely Wa based high performance cars I guess just like the powercruise but at a desent time of the year .
The better events here in Perth at the moment are things such as Big Als and ace ford run .
Motivation is still good but its getting so big that it can not please everyone but it seems the ones that are not happy are those that it was started from (street machines) .
