Rev 'n' Blow Engine Blow-up Competition Sunday |
|
 |
 |
|
There is $1,000 up for grabs in the engine blow up competition. |
|
| Engines are run on full rev without water in the block until they seize or blow-up. The winner is determined by crowd enjoyment and spectacle. Engine blow-ups are how it all started and remains one of the most popular events. | |
|
If you haven't yet seen an engine blow-up competition, you are in for quite a treat. The motors will usually run for between 3 and 12 minutes before Blowing or Seizing up. |
|
| So, the idea is to get an old engine and blow it up. The harder it revs the better and the longer it runs the better. There is quite an art to being successful in this event, but by golly its good fun!! | |
