Believe it or not; its actually a Tough gig trying to come up with a set of trophies for a Horsepower Crew event, with so many different types of Horsepower, we need to ensure that when there is over 220 of South Australia’s Motoring Enthusiast Community that is taking every effort to share their Horsepower with everyone, its only fair that we take the time to ensure that there could be a handful of categories that every entrant would have a keen eye on.<\/p>\n
This is part of the reason why we love our Early Bird Entrants & Car Clubs\/Groups joining in, they give us a good idea of what is being entered and how many, because Trophies don’t come overnight from Japan, and our engraver likes to have a bit of time to ensure that each one of those trophies is a work of art!<\/p>\n
So in the game of Trophies, there is a lot of “TOP TEN” and “TOP THIS” and “TOP THAT” at a lot of the shows we admire, and at Horsepower Crew; we really feel that there really shouldn’t always be just the best of the best that earns every category. We feel that whilst Yes; there certainly does need to be a reflection of those that have mastered the craft of vehicle customisation on a high level, however we also want a lot of other categories to truly reflect the nature of our community at the event. After all, this is going to be one celebration that will be memorable!<\/p>\n
So we have prepared a detailed list of not only what the Trophy categories are called, but also a description of what those trophies are acknowledging. This way everyone that enters and also everyone that is curious will get a feel for what we are aiming to recognise. We know how important it is, especially for those of you that have put all the hours, the blood, sweat and tears into your pride and joy, doing those extra tweaks to make sure it is ready for TrackFest. We want this to be a special momento to mark that moment of the journey with your Horsepower.<\/p>\n
Of course this all could not be achieved without our Sponsors. They take the time and effort to support us, so we can ensure that we have as many Trophies as possible!<\/p>\n
And a special shoutout to our Judges, they have a tough job but they do it so well! Fortunately for them, all have been in the Motoring Industry for over 30 years with trades under the belt, and have been part of many car shows at the highest level, so if anyone was to ask what qualifications our judges have, well we’re sure the couple brief mentions above certainly earns enough street cred!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
