Anyone heard of Showcar Sunday?

[Arith]

I've never even heard of this event, but apparently it's a local one in Fairfield happening on November 16th!

From the website:

On 16 November 2008 Fairfield Showgrounds in Sydney’s south-west will ignite with the sights and sounds of the inaugural Showcar Sunday; an alcohol-free event for the entire family. Over 400 fully customised cars will be on display - including awesome four-cylinders, rotaries, V8s, muscle cars, choppers and custom bikes. They will contest in the DBA Showstoppa Challenge, with categories including Best Old School, Best High Tech, Best Muscle, Best Overall plus much more.

There will be lots of non-stop entertainment throughout the day, with local talent as well as international artists Third Strike pumping their brand new track "2am" live on centre stage. Watch Sydney's best dance crews battle it out and be judged by Channel 10’s very own So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Nacho Pop and dance contestant Rhiannon, as well as Australian boxing champ Anthony Mundine. There will be autograph and photo sessions throughout the day, as well as a few inspirational words from “The Man,” whose Boxa range of clothing and accessories will be available to buy.

Direct from the USA, DJ Jam will be the exclusive and official disc jockey for Showcar Sunday. Watch Snoop Dogg’s very own tour turntablist live on centre stage as he rocks the party. DJ Jam will play some of his ol’ school grooves as well as launch his new CD mix.

Showcar Sunday will be a totally interactive experience as professionals from all over the modified car industry conduct informative workshops on topics such as piston versus rotary engines; driver training; automotive paints and airbrushing; turbochargers; airbag and hydraulic suspension; professional detailing; brake rotors and pad combinations; street versus track set-ups; and more. Watch, listen and learn from the best as Motivation Australia’s Ian Luff conducts professional driver training, where punters can challenge a friend and test their skills on the track.

Gorgeous girls will strut their stuff in the modelling competition, kids can enjoy the rides, trade exhibitors will showcase their products to the public and there will be a variety of food stalls.

Showcar Sunday will support an Aussie icon as money raised will go towards the Peter Brock Foundation, with some of Brocky’s legendary Holdens on display at the show. Showcar Sunday is an event not to be missed!

Yeah I went to this event about 13 years ago.

Was quite good then, would've only got better I assume.

However my tastes have changed drastically since then. Now I assume it's like most shows, full of rice, chrome and gay kits, with people that think it looks cool.

Worth a look though

Yeah Jim its on every year.

Not very JDM from memory. Very errrrr lets say ricey.

Still alot of other nice cars though, just the jap ones that enter arent what you would call JDM.

Why do they say:

On 16 November 2008 Fairfield Showgrounds in Sydney’s south-west will ignite with the sights and sounds of the inaugural Showcar Sunday

"inaugural" means "first".

i found out you actually need to pay complete show entry just to compete

Don't most competitions have some sort of entry fee? Keeps out the rift raft and only serious people apply?
