Not the same as Hot Rod's Power Tour.  Looks like started in Australia & in the US now too.  Thought it'd be fun till I watched the video.  Maybe I'm a wimp, but watching the cars on the track... semi-congested at times... with no helmets & passengers (even in the back seat)... looks like a disaster waiting to happen to me.

Video from about 2:15 to about the 4:000 mark shows the track time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGO023vWrjY&feature=youtu.be

QuoteSo what can you do at Powercruise USA? What makes it so different from other car shows? For starters, we're not that interested in seeing cars sit in one spot all weekend being judged by old guys with clipboards; we want to see them out on the track, peeling off big burnouts for the crowd, doing what they were built to do!

It's not really my thing... but I could imagine it being a good venue for RoadMaster.
1971 MGB GT V8
Buick 215 w/ Rover heads, custom EFI & crank-fired ignition.
Custom front and rear coilover suspensions.

First year at BIR there was around 130 cars and was a blast, heres a video of my TR6 on the road course, we were going quite fast a few times but it doesn't look like it in the video. Plus my car is more set up for drag racing and I only had street radials on so it spun a bunch.

Powerskid, should have put sticky tires on so they would have smoked a bunch more, about 160 MPH wheel speed.

2nd year had around 350 cars and still was a blast. Took my stock TR6 with Richard Good suspension and still had a blast.
