That would make sense. But it makes money for the organisers so they sell it at high prices. They really should totally ban it as fast cars and drunken morons don't really mix. The pit at Bathurst is worse with these types of empty heads.

Keep an eye out for the Di Filippo Ford Mustang with the engine out of there 4.8 second 298 MPH Top Fueler running Nitromethane. Been giving them a bit of a hand and let me tell ya it will blow your mind when they fire this thing up on Thursday. Darren plans to do some burnouts and go for a bit of a cruise around the facility.

P.S. It will be LOUD

I dont see the point in letting a few bogans ruin your fun ! Doesnt matter where you go they are always there . Get over it and have fun ! I had my car damaged in 1990 . Some frick thought it would be fun to slow up the traffic cruizing inside the complex and was staggering around in front of my car with a huge line up behind me ! my mate called out to one of the security and they grabbed Knobhead and as we cruised past he kicked my passengers side front guard ( XB ) and caved it in pretty well !there is a fair chance I broke his nose but a couple more security blokes stopped me before I could have real talk to him . I just fixed it when i got home and resprayed the car to a slightly different color ! Was a good chance to rectify a few little things that I was unhappy with anyways ! as for the "Show us your tits" requests, My girl just ignores them , not cause she is shy , just cause she doesnt do requests ! HAHAHAHAHAH ! I love the Summer nats , although living in the territory makes it hard to get there. I dont care that a few bogans turn up . Someones gotta do their job. Makes it easier for the rest of us th be better than them I guess !
Just go , enjoy life and because sh1t happens anyway!
