May 22nd, 2025Wastelands Cup done and dusted…

The Wastelands Cup, a chance to enjoy mutated cars, zooming around a sand quarry track, and nights of music and fun is over for another year.

Taking place on May 3-4 on private land somewhere in NSW, it attracted a small but enthusiastic array of people trying to win the coveted cup, awarded to the most outrageous team in dress, mechanical acumen and flamboyance.

This year, Space Mex, headed by Tony Whitehead of Wheatsheaf took the prize home.

“We have finally done it – thanks to our fantastic crew,” he said.

Space Mex will be caretakers of the Cup before passing it over to the future winners at next year’s event.
