Summernats 2016 (29)

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.

So where are they holding the canberra show these days?

What else goes there?

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.

They dont need more piss.. and burnout pad would just mean people get carried away... dont want people getting thrown off utes - or people having to put on helmets.

What else goes there?

Heaps of sales events and exhibitions. One of the latest ones was the camping expo. It's main event is the canberra show which is a mini Sydney Easter show. Hence all the animal shit every where. Not actual shit lol.

Also the canberra harness club uses it for the canberra harness races.

I think they need somewhere on the cruise route where you can actually skid. Not the whole pad but a small area where you can let rip would make it manageable. They did it last year but canned it this year

[Rdyno]

Another thing I have trouble getting my burnout loving mind around is the fact they want to make the event more family friendly but have a sponsor on the main stage that sells full on hydro set ups???

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

i got scrutineered by old man.

then signed in by who i thought were girl scout cookie selling kids lol

Anyone check out that bluey one tonner? How was it done?

If you are talking about the blue meanie, it had a HQ-WB looking rear chassis. Looked exactly the same but smoother. Same configuration.
Maybe some fencing on tough street like at street races. The problem with giving them an inch is the cruisers will take a mile. They need to drawer the line better in the sand or set it up better. Maybe green light system and a red light when they have done their share to say you're finishing now or leaving via the side gate.

Scrutineering was a joke this year. The old bloke went to do a rego check, then went for a lunch break and ciggie before returning. The other staff were happy to hold up another 30 cars after us as it "is his job, dumb old fuck" as another staff member put it. Also delays in the shed even though the car checks were basic. A 25 minute job took 1hr 45min.

Just need security to know what it is to go too far. One guy was great, he would let you rip a reasonable skid that would keep the crowds happy and still let the driver have fun, but not big enough to put anyone on danger.

If they all had that attitude it would be fine.

Use security to keep the dickheads at bay not police every single person at the event

[Rdyno]

Parking was also a joke me and my mates found one parking staff member that actually knew what was going on she said she copped abuse all day as they moved the VIP parking section at the last minuet.

Not to forget the ACT government and the coppers. They hold their hand out big time and probably a bunch of other cunts i can't think of. Summernats brings a ton of cash in to the organisers and every one knows it and charges them accordingly. And summernats would be second or third biggest event there behind the Canberra show and the folk festival

[LoveB]

my scrutineering was pretty much turn head lights on, step on brakes, left and right indicator and show me where your battery is.

took me longer to fill up my form. lol but my mate waited two hours to get his done

[no13b_Coupe]

Nopics and I must have got lucky! We had a breeze through scruitneering!

Other than the cunt telling me off after jonescunt and I exchange tyre smoke I didn't have an issue. Even fed it full stick slid sideway and smoked out some coconut and they didn't even care. (This was on exit yesterday afternoon)

Thinking about it other than the city cruise Thursday lunch time I wasn't that OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOG this year

Maybe cause brapbrapbang wasn't selling shit on the oval this year.
