Summernats 2016 (29)

Showcar judging has the same integrity as elections in North Korea......

LOL! You can't voice these opinions in the grand hall people get the sads.

There was a couple of neat FCs in the hall that ute was pretty fucking neat!

When half the cars arnt built on drug money or proceeds of crime then maybe I'll entertain the thought the judging is truly blind.

This summernats was shit IMO everything was overpriced, security were being cunts to entrants, the platinum passes were oversold so I only got shade on the Saturday for some strange reason and I only got to see one set of tits.

I paid a lot of money too much. All I wanted to do after the burnout comp was watch cars on tuff street do burnouts and drink some piss. I was in the entrant camping section with some friends and we saw car after car get booted ffs there is concrete barriers on tuff street now why the fuck can't people have a little fun.

[Eeyore]

I agree the platinum passes were oversold but if you got there early enough on each day you got a seat. I had no problems at all as I was prepared to sit in the grandstand for a fair few hours to watch skids/go-to-woah after walking around all morning seeing other sights. I saw heaps of small and not so small skids on Tuff St on Friday and Saturday and security just told them all to ease of and continue on. I'm surprised that anyone got booted going by what I saw many others get away with. For that matter I thought security were pretty easy going as the crowds congregating where there was a gap in the barriers or no barriers at all were just ridiculous; standing on the road, in front of or pushing cars, chucking shit at the cars or in the windows etc. I didn't see any of the main trouble makers who were there for hours on end get escorted out.

Another interesting occurrence on Saturday saw a orange Falcon ute with a broken mirror and a dinted guard. They went around a couple of times with a few blokes in the back and maybe one or two girls. Eventually people seemed to get sick of them not doing a skid and no tits so things were thrown and it appeared someone spat a beer over one of the girls. I all got a bit heated after that but nothing really came of it.

The security was writing all the numbers down then when the offender came back past the fuel depot and back out they would direct them into the sinbin. By Saturday the poles around the sinbin were covered in entrant stickers.

I get the impression the promotors want their cake and get to eat it too.
If you want a heap of cunts to turn up with solid cars cruising around to attract the crowds then your going to have to accept, given the event, cunts will want to have a bit of fun.....

I didnt see Jamie Wingecup get booted btw

[Rdyno]

I also can't understand why they had to shut all the fun down by 11pm on the Saturday night I reckon they broke the record for the amount of security guards at this summernats. The summernats always used to stay pumping until 1am.

I heard one of the scritineering people have quite a rant about the promotors being greedy bastards. Apparently cut a lot of the budget for staff etc in order to make max profits.

I got scrutineered by two 12 year old girls FFS

[Nelso]

Agree with what everyone else has said, it was extremely tame this year, and I'll be having at least a year or two off.

[GSRman]

Tuff st is the best part of summernats, they need a mini burnout pad there, just run it all afternoon

Wtf that's not right-you need the right people doing that and a pair of 12 year olds don't cut it.

There was 100,000 people through the gates "apparently" if you be crude and average that to $100 per person there's 10 mil then add inn all the rev from the over priced trade stands and I bet even the squishy cunts had to pay mega dollars to be there. The prices were all set for ever thing so it wouldn't surprise me if the stall owners had to pay a percentage.

When I used to work for pedders Adam gilick told the event management to fuck off because they wanted to much for a trade stand spot I don't know how much that was but I bet it went up 15% this year like the beer prices.

The cunts stopped public access at gate 4 so it was harder to get to the servo to buy stuff so you would be more likely to buy stuff at the over priced supermarket. The management is a bunch of greedy cunts. I also recall street machine actually got bought over two or three years ago and they moved to melbourn I guess they have to try and use summernats to pay for declining mags like women's weekly.

What do you reckon it costs to hire out Exhibition park for four days though?
Keep in mind it uses all of the park's yearly 'credits' for noise, so basically its only use for the rest of the year is dog and pony shows.

Or just make the burnout pad tuff street after 7pm dick heads will be held back from throwing shit at cars and such other crude behaviour but they will be free to waste our oxygen yelling at women they would never have a chance with. They could have a breath testing official to make sure there isn't any pissed cunts trying to beat the burnout masters in his red vx dunnydore.

Also if I was running the event I would make it half price beer from 9 -1 on Saturday night and wheel in extra beer carts in those four hours you would probably match alcohol profits for the other three days.
