The meaning behind Forum Battle
Car forums have come along way from “my (insert car make and model) is better then your (insert car make and model).”
It sounds familiar to a iconic race series we have here in Australia. But it was after Will posted his Forum battle Competitor Entry, that he nailed the meaning of Forum Battle on the head while sharing his feature on OZMAZDACLUB.
”The whole concept of the Forum Battle revolves around ‘love’. We are all coming together to appreciate the entire spectrum of car scenes and have an awesome time. It will be a big event with television coverage as well. If you want to attend one of the largest forum events in Australian history, this is it. Make sure you don’t miss it and again, if you are interested in participating, it is not about winning” – ttshark
“Coming together to appreciate the entire spectrum of car scenes and have an awesome time” Forum battle couldn’t of have said it any better. Look past the name Forum Battle, the categories, and point system and it’s a show, a festival and a celebration of what online car forums are about offline.

Go racing, enter multiple events!

Due to popular demand Forum Battle will be opening the flood gates, and allowing competitors to enter multiple disciplines, every competitor will also automatically gain VIP access and be entered into the show shine event.
Forum battle wants each and every competitor to be able to go home with a proper Motorsport adrenalin filled weekend.
Points gained in these events will also go to your Forums total point score. PRIZES,PRIZES,PRIZES. Winning is always sweeter when you get to take home a trophy and prizes. But what if you could take a big chunk of the 20K prize pool? We say if you’ve got the car to do the job, don’t hold back.
And for those of us lucky enough to have sponsors helping us out, this is a great opportunity to send some love back to the sponsors and get great coverage+reach for all those important potential customers. Forum Battle will have multiple car bloggers, photographers and video bloggers all making the trip to Calder Park to cover Forum Battle.

‘So You Think You Can Stance’

When it comes to car shows, judging criteria is usually based on how the car looks or what kinds of modifications it has. Having attended tons of the same old car shows, our good friend Tony Lee from ItsJDMYo had an idea to make a different type of contest within the car scene.

Operation Killer-watt – A Current Affair – Hoon Report 24/1/12
source: http://www.facebook.com/hoonmedia
Now, before you read this and comment below, please don’t swear, abuse etc, be constructive and add your thoughts, but don’t add fuel to their fire
Ok, I’m not one to rant, but really I’d like to thank ACA for again taking it upon themselves to not only brand us as Hoons, but Rev Heads and also use the term Car Enthusiast as though it’s a bad thing.
Firstly Tracey G, you open by stating that the Police (whom genuine and passionate car enthusiasts such as the people we promote) or Highway Cops as you put it, hit the road to slow down rev heads.
A: None of the well stereotypically selected drivers in the actual segment seemed to be driving in any way that seemed to be deemed unsafe, so how were the Police “slowing them down”…
B: I’m sure a quick walk around any shopping centre car park would find an astounding number of “non hoon” vehicles, with bald tyres and a number of other unroadworthy faults.
C: Not that it matters, but 1 minute of research could have prevented Sarah Stewart from calling the Evo a WRX. I’m sure this is the “scoop” she’s always been hoping might just land her a Walkley award as she’s probably normally stuck doing pieces about the most amazing new bra or old couples suffering from “bill shock”.
Anyway, this is HoonTV not having a rant, but wanting to stick up for all of those people who are extremely passionate about cars and bikes and who like to enjoy them in a safe and careful manner. We go to race tracks, car shows, drag racing and events where we can enjoy our vehicles, but please don’t brand us all just because you think you can. Essentially you’re stepping over the line with this one, but I’m sure it’s more about ratings. What’s next, branding car clubs as criminal organisations?

Summernats Car Festival 25
Words: Ryan Lewis. Photos: MJ Digital. Source: THE-LOWDOWN
Hands down, no other event has more Aussie motoring character in it than Summernats. For better or worse, it’s the most anticipated event by all Aussie horsepower fanatics. The Summernats Car Festival has been running for a quarter of a century, and every year delivers the loudest three-and-a-half day weekend of burnt rubber, race fuel and rock ‘n’ roll. Up to 1500 elite street machines descend on Canberra, followed by 85,000 adoring fans. People bask in tyre smoke clouds and the smell of bourbon for as far as the eye can see. Bet your bottom dollar that Summernats has everything to do with Australia’s passionate love of V8s and burnouts. Automotive tomfoolery is our business. We spent last weekend soaking up the wonder that is Summernats for the first time. It was unlike anything else we’ve experienced. No words will quite capture the spectacle in its entirety, so here’s our photographic guide to Australia’s number one horsepower party.
