Australia. Land of unique animals, vast empty areas, an entire state where there is effectively no speed limit (as we Yanks understand it, anyways) and some of the most stringent, panic-driven automotive laws ever devised. If you ever find yourself complaining about having to go have your car smogged, do a search on the kinds of b.s. Aussies put up with, and that’s before you take into account the “hoon laws” that are found all over the country that are best described as “draconian”. We get the difference between having a little bit of fun and reckless endangerment, but in Australia, the line is drawn and nobody wants to cross it, lest the government confiscates your car. But there is an answer to that: officially sanctioned cruising, where you can throw everybody in the car, hit the track and haze the tires to your heart’s content…or line up with another car for a quick race…or hang the tail out a little bit. You already know what kind of cars you’ll see here: turbocharged hyperactive JDM rockets and a lot of Roots-blown goodness, and Flinty caught all of the action at Gazzanats in Western Australia. Struggling to get up and moving? Play this at full volume as you’re getting ready to go…your neighbors will love you!
