Thousands of Horsepower Stuck in the Mud at Cars and Coffee Sydney

The Aussie caffeinated octane meet, which saw enthusiasts celebrating Valentine's Day the right way (the gathering took place on February 14), was blessed with sunny weather. However, the rain had assaulted the area (Springvale, Victoria) on the two days preceding the event, and as a result, the grass arena that served as a playground saw many of the hp monsters having trouble leaving the event.

With the performance tires and the microscopic ground clearance showed by many of the machines that took part in the event, things went less than smoothly. In fact, you'll be able to see a few examples of the struggle in the clip below.

The drivers that got stuck could've always exited their cars to release some tire pressure, which might have allowed them to escape the muddy situation. But then again, people who sit behind the wheel of go-fast cars aren't used to such shenanigans.

Factor in the need to bring the pressure back to the proper level once you're back on tarmac and it's easy to understand why the drivers chose to turn to human assistance instead.

Truth be told, the problems could be labeled as an inconvenience rather than serious trouble - in the clip, you can even see a Raptor owner preparing his winch for any assistance that may have been required and, in the world of muddy driving, few things are more reassuring than such a sight.

Oh well, at least everybody got out of the mud in the end, with hefty car wash bills being the only consequence of the moody weather.
