Looking forward to the smell of burnt rubber and the sweet sounds of v8 revving their tits off! I know I wouldn't be the only one!
So who's going? Anyone here on tue forums entering their cars in Any of the comps?

No but I have a mate with an old Gemini with a 308 in it for The burnout comp..
If my brothers ute is Finnished we will see if we can just have it in there for the power cruises.. I'll be taking it.. But it's got to be Finnished first.. New motor should be due to go in in another week or so

Naturally I'll be there, organising the SM Summernats Magazine crew again and also doing my youtube thing. Fives day of nearly no sleep, high temps, too much booze, covered in rubber and loving every minute of it.

You just take one for the team and drink Jim Beam so they will think that sponsoring the event is worthwhile and do it again in the future. No sponsors = no event....... |

I'll definitely be there with some mates. Have been twice before and not going to miss this one coming. Meant to be the biggest early entrant list ever from what I have heard. The XE won't be ready in time but may have a little something something up my sleeve to take down.

DANNO- All I can say is prepare for a big few days. Very little sleep, hot as days and dry heat, awesome cars, hot ladies, lots of walking and plenty of drinks. Usually totally buggered and broke by the time we get home lol

Probably the worst place to ever take a girlfriend lol. Once someone spots a lady and yells out the usual chants all the bogans swarm in like flies on crap and next thing you know theres hundreds of people chanting lol. Like you said most brush off all the talk until they experience it.
I'll have to keep an eye out for everyone and come and say hello.

Last time I was at the nats my mates were watching me. Talk to some chick, middle of the day. Next thing they see is she takes her top off and standing there yapping to me.. They weren't stunned as it was pretty common there.
She says to me take your top off mate, I said (thinking she wouldn't be up for it) only if you take your top off first. She did!! I didn't and she looked pretty silly. Hmmm maybe ill go to the nats again, dust everywhere $60 to get in and $15 parking. $10 lousy hotdogs, topless women, ok. If it don't rain ill be there, any rain and the hot car and boobs disappear. |
