A “dirty mullet” fashion competition on Saturday gave many attendees the chance to show off their precious locks of hair in a hilarious change of pace.

But the main attraction all weekend has been the huge line-up of cars putting on a spectacular show with rides and burnouts.

Attendees were treated to shows from artists like Shannon Noll and Daryl Braithwaite on Friday, with Bliss N Eso set to grace the stage on Saturday night.

Classic cars also formed part of the competition.

Ticket sales were reportedly so unprecedented they were sold out early on Friday.

The second round of eliminations will take place later on Saturday, before the finals take place on Sunday.

Following that, there will be a final 10 face-off at 3pm.
