I’m glad you had the stones to say something about the disrespectful drunken idiots that overrun the event. It’s appalling how some people treat the hard work of others with such little care. Growing up around cars I was told to look and admire, but never lay a finger on it. It just seems to be a common trend these days to act like a complete f***wit and go harder than the last bloke just for some short lived social cred.

Every year the optimist in me hopes they have cleaned it up a bit and every year I'm let down. I heard that one of my mates may now have to re spray the front of his car because someone did a burnout in front of him on the cruise route and showered him with loose bitumen and tyre shards. This persons car has been in the elite hall in previous years so it's not a shitter.

Couldn’t agree more with what you said about the ‘nats. After social media being flooded with negative behaviour, people acting like it’s a badge of honour to have your stickers ripped off and kicked out. To the fact that security got over run in one section and had to take flight as the crowd and car drivers had went feral. Not to mention after cruise route got canned people took it to the streets. Behaviour like that has definitely put a nail in the coffin for Summernats. I know Mcfry has posted a lot of people acting feral. As for Andy you say it was more safe for females, from what you’ve heard from previous years. But you also picked and chose where and when you went to places and kept an eye on her at all times. Doesn’t sound like a safe space for them at all and it would deter a lot from attending. Im glad someone like you has the balls to say the real truth about it for anyone looking to attend in the future years.

As someone who still hasnt been to summernats but feels the exact same way about the event as you i would defaintly recommend doing RedCentreNats, I did RCN #3 and while its a fair hike the journey is half the fun and it has a more community event feel, Everyones especially the WA partipants have done the hard yards to get a car there so its a little unspoken rule to not ruin the trip for someone else whose done just as much as you to make it. All up a great fun event with a lot more layed back vibes. Only down side is the local crime so stay in a good caravan park and everyone tends to keep an eye out for eachothers cars

I know it's a long way away from you, but Kandos is one of my all time favourite events, it's such a laid back event, the atmosphere is so cool, it feels more like a get together with all your mates (even if you don't know anyone there) everyone is happy to talk to you and you get to see a bit of everything, not just LS powered junk all the time.

Great to see someone being honest on video about the conditions. I went for the first time, always something my dad and I wanted to do, mainly just to see the nice cars. Didn't even actually visit the pad haha. The guys were running a muck, guys pulling people throttle cables and opening their throttle bodies. Like you said it had gotten better with the girls, you probably could have relaxed a bit more with that side of things, as you mentioned you were cautious of where you went etc. I reckon your pretty much fine walking around it's mainly just the cars themselves getting damaged, personal safety though didn't feel like it was too bad. Also saw you pulled over outside the showgrounds on the Thrusday evening. Torana looked amazing man.

Mark, maybe I'm showing my age, but I can't really see the purpose in spending heaps of cash in doing a car up and then trashing the tyres (and more) trying to impress perfect strangers when you dump the clutch, creating clouds of smoke. I think you did the right thing in keeping Andie's little Torana out of the way. I'm glad you made it home to SA safely.

So i was there at the nats this year. I've been going for ten years, and my dad has been since the beginning. This was the rowdiest summernats I have been to in a while and it was disgusting. Amenities were few and far between, and when you found them, you really didn't want to use them. I didn't like the text messages through the day from the event rather than saying go have fun and see cool cars. It was pushing start hitting the turps from 9am. I went home early on the saturday at about 2pm. And to get from the ringers western truck to the gate by maccas took me 30 minutes, and i had the car pelted with cans, bottles, and people rocking the car hoping for a skid. But i never did one so i was the bad guy and got stuff thrown at me. The spectators to me ruined the event. But the organisers were no help due to it being chaos just to get a straight answer. There was no communication between security, and the security that was there sucked anyway. I had people cutting holes in the fence behind my camp, which ironically was 15m from a security gate. I definitely will not be returning to the event with a car. I may go in my daily to see it for the day. But i will not have another car ruined by pissed idiots.

I went to the summernats back in the mid 90's ( It didn't help the event with there slogan Blowers, burnouts and boobs, and having wet T shirt comp, and stripers on stage late at night, that just fuelled the Yobbo's up ) with a group of mates and one of my mate's and his missus at time, was constantly getting harassed as we were walking around the cruise route ( It was relentless where it started with a few blokes yelling stuff out to getting surrounded by these yobbo's where it was hard for her to walk ) it got to the point where she felt so uncomfortable that they only stayed the one night!! we traveled 9 hours to get there, we got there on the Friday and they left Saturday morning, packed all there camp stuff up and went back home. Very disappointing back in the day if you took your missus to this event.

I’m with you Mark. My car was parked on the oval most of the day so I am not sure I will bother entering again. Luckily I am from Canberra so it doesn’t cost me too much time and money and I can go home when I have had enough. 2700 entrant cars and that many spectators is in my opinion too many. An hour for a lap of the cruise route (2.2km) is ridiculous (all while being abused for not doing a skid) as is 40mins in a queue to get in each morning unless you got there before 9am. I love parts of the event but not sure they are enough for me to keep paying entrant fees. I’ll probably just go as a spectator in future years. I’m glad Andy didn’t cop too much, avoiding certain parts of the event after about 3pm (used to be 6pm) is my advice to friends, particularly females - that sucks but is sensible.

I, for the very reasons you've mentioned, have never been to Summernats. Never heard a good story out of it, and the level of Bogan-isum is off the charts, not for me at all, I don't understand abusing a car like those guys do, it's not fun or cool or anything .... just plain dumb!! I've watched a few recent YT videos from it and it looked like a real sh!t show, defiantly won't be going to one ... if it lasts that long? Thanks for the wrap up of the Nat's Mark and Andi, sorry to hear the AU didn't make it unscathed, at least the Torrie didn't get damaged. Thanks again guys, Cheers TJ

Cheers good video. I agree with the feral attitude of the summernats. It's one asshole trying to out do another asshole. See it year in year out on videos. Shame nobody stopped to assist you guys. Beautiful Torana and keep up the good work. Cheers from New Zealand

You poor buggers, nothing worse than that kind of night after a long trip from a disappointing event. You two are a great team and Mark a true gentleman for staying cool with the problems and just getting on with it (on camera anyway) good on you guys👍 Years ago in the early 80s I took my small block HK Monaro (same colour as your Torana) to the street machine nationals in Mildura, the police read the riot act and forced everyone off the road within 15 mins or be arrested so there were still a hell of a lot of wankers around then too but we had a good time just the same, take care cheers Brett

Nice work Mark. I’ve never been ; also introverted but the amount of spottos there ruin it for everyone. Coupled with the simple lack of respect for other folks’ steel, fuck that never going. Appreciate you making this. That red centre Nat’s sounds more the go for me.
