DAY THREE SATURDAY 07 JAN
AS BIG as Friday is, Saturday invariably tops it. The Meguiar’s Pavilion is open all day until 4pm, giving everyone a chance to eyeball the show cars – and you’ll need it, as the Friday night gets pretty packed.
The arena will also be packed with street-class cars, as well as the Miss Summernats competition from midday.
The burnout eliminations run on the Castlemaine Rod Shop Burnout Track from 1pm until 4pm, when the Burnout Masters take the stage for their qualifying runs.
Then as the sun sets, the arena starts to fill up in anticipation of the Supercruise – including many cars straight out of the Elite Top 60 and the Burnout Masters. The very last Rare Spares Legend award will be bestowed, and when the cruising is done, the kids are treated to a fireworks show at 9pm and then Thirsty Merc hit the stage at 9.15pm, followed by the mighty Airbourne at 10pm. How cool is that?
