Blackrock Casino will keep the ‘tyres’ burning

It comes as no surprise the Blackrock and Supersonic Show Off Your Ride show is one of the most anticipated events of the year.

Kicking off on August 1 from 9am to 6pm, motoring enthusiasts can expect nothing but first-class entertainment.

“Newcastle residents have come to love the annual car show, which has been hosted in the region for the past seven years. With Blackrock’s experience as partner to this exciting event, this year promises to be just as exciting,” said Blackrock Marketing Manager Veneshrie Chetty.

This year’s show will be nothing short of spectacular, with South Africa’s top drifter, David Nel set to show off his skills.

The event will also feature a sound competition. Records broken here will be showcased on the DB Drags website.

Supertech Newcastle decided to come on broad this year in an effort to become more actively involved in the community.

“We have more than three decades of experience in motoring behind us, and we see the car show as an opportunity to give back to the community. We’ll have a couple of our latest models on display. We’ll also have salesmen here to answer any questions guests might have. We live by the motto, sheer driving pleasure,” said Shabeer Amod of Supertech team.
