Highlights from the Supercars opener sideshow in Adelaide

The annual Supercars opener held at Adelaide’s storied street circuit is never shy of on-track action, but there’s always plenty to see on the infield.
This year’s Superloop 500 was no exception, so we braved the heat to check out the machines on display for our visual pleasure.
Adelaide promoter Geof Tartoosie has been integral in getting hot metal into the grounds for the last 14 years, this time putting together the ‘Meguiar’s Cool Cars & Classics’ as well as the ‘Tracks of the World’ displays.
Armed with a list of phone numbers and some Facebook contacts, Geof invited the owners of some top-shelf machines, as well as those with the weird, wild and wonderful.
The cars, ranging from late-model turbos to chrome-laden classics, rods, street machines and race cars were all on display for the duration of the four-day event.
The vehicles were just part of the attractions away from the track; free-style motocross demonstrations, sideshows, support race paddocks and a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert awaited.
