Summernats

[Sinful]

Hey peeps

Just wondering if any SAUer's will be at summernats this year ?

Its will be our first summernats ever as moving to this state has made it possible to actually go

I know it is very V8 orintated and can be a bit harsh on the girls but I am purely there to have a great time and see some "phat" cars what ever make/model they might be

We will be going down just for the weekend e.g Friday night thru to Sunday as didnt plan well enough this year to be there the whole 4 days lol

So hope to see some sau peeps and maybe even some "phat" nissan there

Yup im the same i'll be there Sat + Sun or.. until my body cant stand the sunburn any longer. I usually just drive down myself on friday arvo to Goulborn to stay at my parents house then drive my work van down early sat morning and sleep in the back sunday nite in some desserted area then go back sunday for the burnouts and another dose of sunburn.

Regardless of the amount of v8's it really is a fantastic car enthusiast show with more and more jap cars becoming involved (although not as many as you find on the streets of Braddon late at night hehe).

The whole chick thing is (unfortunately) dieing down. I wouldn't have taken a chick within 10km of the place 3 or 4 years ago but these days plenty of middle aged families are going with their young kids and dont have any problems. If you dress for the occassion and not for the attention and dont wander around in groups of girls you are pretty much alright.

Im unsure how spectacular the event will be this time around due to the major accident last event caused by the drifters running over some people in the crowd on the sat nite main event. Expect security ever 10m stopping any driver that even remotely looks like they are going to do something stupid. Why they dont just make the cruise route 1 way with heaps and heaps of safety barriers allowing drivers to do what they want to do is beyond me.

Can't wait...

Awesome!

I know the ute that you speak of running over the crowd was not good at all!

I seriously cant wait either

So if I wore a sau shirt would I get picked on even if Im a girl?

I'll be there covering it - can't wait but at the same time - you're wrecked for a week after the event.

Went last year loved it me 5 mates got the mini bus and off we went. Was super hot last year which made me hide in the dyno room for a good part of the day, good part was 1000 hp NA V8 and 1250hp twin tt small block all on pump fuel too.

Drain, tickets????

I will probably go, been the last 3-5yrs

I haven't been since the early 90's. I hear it's a lot tamer these days in terms of crowd behaviour. Any hassles you get for liking one particular car or another is most likely to be done in a friendly bantering sort of way.

If I go this time I will definitely be wearing something SAU related.

Have you guys got your accomodation organised?

[JAS-25T]

Nah,

last time i stayed a bit out of town at queenbeyan

[ECR033]

I'll be there on the Sat again

[mr 32]

looking into it

[benm]

Generally speaking the women walking around with guys wont get picked on, or only in a friendly way if at all. But chicks walking around in groups wearing short skirts and tight tops, good luck.

If you havent already organised accommodation, forget about it.. you are about 6mths too late.

[2rismo]

Most of the accomodation is vacated only due to attrition. <sp>

[JAS-25T]

You can get accomodation near the date, but expect to drive around 20-30mins each day to get there.

[Smoky]
