We’ve been waiting a long time for this one, as soon as the car was done we got the call and with no hesitation locked this one in.

The Maloo was back and badder than ever, the attention to detail in this car is next level with everything designed and built for 100% functionality and to top it off it absolutely looks the part too with nothing out of place.

This was the first time the car had hit the dyno since the new build and it did not disappoint, throwing down massive numbers while only being run in on low boost.

With Jeff in control of the tune he ran the car up for a few pulls to get everything settled in, no doubt this will be getting turned up to 11 in no time with plenty left in it.

A huge credit to Tony, the Audio Image/RPM Performance Crew and ADR Engines for a proper weapon of a car that has been finished to the absolute highest degree!

Looking forward to following this car and watching it throw down at the Perth Motorplex, the numbers this car puts out is no joke!!

Back for Day Two… the grand finale, where all the hard work throughout the 2021/22 Season all comes down to the final head to head rounds to make it all count!

No surprises in that the racing was wild literally from the get go, with a few massive moments and one unfortunate ending for Steve Aldridge in the immaculate Crown Motorsport Cuda taking a sudden sharp right turn at half track and making a bee line straight for the solid concrete wall. This was a huge impact as you will see, and due to the high standards these cars are built to and the big focus on driver safety Steve walked away from this one suffering broken ribs and internal bleeding from what we are led to believe – It’s still not great but it’s definitely better than what it could have potentially been given how hard that impact was!

There weren’t many of the Blown Cars missing from this video, alot of the regulars on our channel managed to get through Day One and get at least one pass in on Day Two so we were lucky enough to have plenty of content to really go out with a bang on this massive final video for this season!

Make sure you check out the Blown Car videos on the channel from the other rounds this season, can never get enough blown action and they’re all as crazy as the next to watch!

Well here we are, the biggest, baddest, loudest and fastest 4 wheeled land based machines on the planet…. And we had 6 of them all in the one spot!

These are by far the most insane things we have had the privelage of having on our Channel, and we’ve watched them for many many years from a far but have never been this close – words can’t describe the experience, if you’ve seen these as a spectator from the stands then times that experience by about 10 at you’d be getting close to being able to understand what we felt trackside.

Consider Day One just a teaser of what’s in store for Day Two, after getting a bit of a feel of things and a bit more of a certainty on what we could expect we made sure to bring you the best experience we could, short of sitting in one of these – it’s worth the wait.
