Fans who attend the New Year’s Day clash between Western Sydney and Macarthur FC are in for a double treat.
As well as the football match, which is always enthralling between the two Greater Western Sydney clubs, they will be able to check out some cool classic cars as part of a match day partnership with Summernats.
The partnership will bring together two of Australia’s most passionate communities: football fans and car enthusiasts.
From a Bulls fans point of view, two of the 10 cars on display hail from South West Sydney.
Dom Luci, 38, from Menangle, will bring his striking orange 1975 Holden HJ Kingswood – bearing the personalized number plate LITMUP.
A veteran burnout competitor, Luci has earned a reputation for crowd-stopping performances, including a Pro Burnout Series qualifier at Street Machine Summernats 38.
LITMUP carries deep personal significance, having been gifted to Luci by his late father-in-law after being found abandoned, and rebuilt with help from family and friends.
With his children often trackside, Luci and LITMUP represent burnout culture driven as much by heart as by performance.
The second South West Sydney entry will be by Mitchel Hawkins, 33, who hails from Wilton.
Hawkins will showcase his 1994 Holden VR Commodore, CAVIAR, finished in a distinctive salmon pink.
Known for challenging convention, Hawkins transformed a long-forgotten garage find into a bold, motorsport-inspired statement car that gained widespread attention at Meguiar’s MotorEx and landed on the front cover of Street Machine magazine.
As fans will see if they attend Thursday’s football match, CAVIAR exemplifies creativity combined with performance, blending family practicality with show-stopping design.
Western Sydney Wanderers v Macarthur FC Bulls: Thursday, January 1, Commbank Stadium, 7pm kick off.
