Carolyn Hayes has been to every Summernats since the street machine festival began in 1987. Over the years she's been a spectator, entrant, judge and now she's finally reached the pinnacle of having her LH Torana chosen as one of the cars for the Meguiar's Great Uncover on Thursday night.
More than 100 cars went through scrutineering on Wednesday, only 60 were chosen for display in the Budawang Pavilion at EPIC; her little blue Torana is surrounded by cars twice the size, big hulking machines that rumble like thunder as they're manoeuvred into place.
