Summernats 25 is near!

SIMBAD · 28-11-2011, 06:11 AM

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?

fat4D · 28-11-2011, 07:16 AM

I'll be there, my gf is working in one of the merch stands all weekend... If she gets to be there figure i do too

. Wanted to enter my car but will next year got a few other things to do before the car is finished. You entering?

SIMBAD · 28-11-2011, 08:04 AM

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

prasac · 28-11-2011, 10:54 AM

probably be entering the brother's Capri in Tuff Street.

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.

as was i, i miss the JD icee's, you'd knock back half a carton of JD cans during the morning then switch to the icee's in the afternoon and back to the cans at night, i never got too trashed that way

OR

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.......

DANNO178 · 28-11-2011, 02:38 PM

I have always wanted to go but have never made it. Just wondering when it starts and finishes , I think its about time I went.

tankclare · 28-11-2011, 03:18 PM

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.

i'm not that big an alcoholic, i don't think they would miss the 80-100 cans i would drink there

if the event wasn't profitable or someone wasn't getting something out of it, it wouldn't be on.

January 5th-8th 2012

tankclare · 28-11-2011, 03:49 PM

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

u can camp at the site. it's cheap and easy, they have showers n that. make sure u get plenty of sunscreen and buy a sombrero hat. also, make sure u have a shower after the burnouts, u go in looking like 2000's Michael Jackson and come out looking like 1970's Michael Jackson

we have a spare spot in the bungalow (same room for 20 years

), a mate decided to have a kid around the time of the event, so he won't go. he is a bit of a pussy, another mate just had a kid 2 weeks back but he is still going

like tankclare said prepare for a few big days. if u see a guy in the middle of the road doing burnouts (not in a car, with feet) with his pants and undies around his knees, come say hello that is me

Lol my girly wanted to come! But I didn't let her.. Instead I've bought her tickets to go up to qld to go see her brother and nieces that she's always missing.
First thing early Friday morning she gets dropped off at Canberra airport then....
I go and get loose! Or as an old mate used to say (pommy chap).. LETS GET F&@KIN WIRED! Hahaha

HULK EF · 30-11-2011, 12:47 PM

might head down there on the Thur arvo..

i usualy stay in the Carotel park.. "on the left,just after the 1st roundabout/shell apon arriving in canberra".

Anyone else stay there?

i just pitch the 3 persom dome tent.. and catch up with randoms..

yeah we stay at the Carotel, but in the rooms. had the same room for close to 15-20 years

i know a few girls that have gone down and most vow never to come back again (the reserved ones), you tell them what to expect especially all the guys screamin' stuff at 'em etc but they don't believe it till they experience it

HULK EF · 30-11-2011, 01:51 PM

A room would be nice.. but ive tented it for the last 5 years so as uncomfortable as it can be.. its kind of like tradition to camp. lol

Entering a car prasac? teetering on whether to enter mine..

tankclare · 30-11-2011, 01:53 PM

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.

FalconXV · 30-11-2011, 01:56 PM

Whats the price difference at the gate for a season pass?

nah, mine not ready. will be there just with the brother's Capri (Twin turbo 4L V8) lil vid of it in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUlT863m8as it was up for Street Machine of the Year this year (didn't win

) we usually enter it in Tuff Street, has won a fair few awards at the 'Nats, came runner up in Tuff Street a couple times and won Tuff Pro Street back in 2005. it's getting a bit old now (3rd year with the turbo combo) so doubt it will take anything this year.

next year a few more of us will have cars finished which will be good. i will be cruising my full tube drag car
