    Smile lastminuteNATS - Winton - Easter

    The LastminuteNATS is an event put together by Adam Ronke at Winton Raceway to try and give the car enthusiasts somewhere to go this Easter now that EasterNATS has been cancelled.

    The Event will consist of:

    Burnouts
    Powerskids
    Drags
    Cruizin'

    There maybe Drift events, we are just looking at time constraints at the present. Please everyone remember that these events take months of planning, and this one is very much a LAST MINUTE event.

    THIS EVENT IS 100% HAPPENING!!

    Entry Fee for Competitors: $150
    Garages $80 per car
    Powered Carports $40
    Spectators $20 each

    does it come with council approval and backing in writing or will they back flip at the lastminute due to pressure from locals concerned about noise levels and hoon driving in the local area

    I'll make the trip to see it. Regardless of the turn out prospect. These guys need to be supported for their efforts.

    This is a race track, don't you watch V8Supercars?

    Winton run an exact same event in September called Performance Car Mania.

    yep been to winton many times working as pit crew for HQ's and sport sedans , generally a well behaved bunched of people for race goers you have respect for motor sports unlike others who riot when an event is canceled .

    LastminuteNats Cancelled!!


    Bad News!! The Last Minute Nats event which was to be held on April 3rd 2010 has been cancelled.

    We have been working with authorities to try and resolve a number of issues and have just run out of time.

    When the concept was proposed last week it was a genuine attempt to provide an alternative to the cancelled EasterNats event, however, following meetings which occurred as a result of the response to a recent event in Melbourne, the consequence of which has changed the thinking of the authorities in relation to the running of the Last Minute Nats at this time.

    We apologise for any inconvenience and I assure you that this will not affect any future events and I have an assurance from the authorities for their support when running similar types of events in the future.

    Kindest regards,

    Adam Ronke
    A bloody shame, those idiots who trashed the Bob Jane store have this to answer for too.

    Yeah I'm rather disappointed that its been cancelled as well, I was really looking forward to it. They shouldn't have said that its defiantly on if they were yet to finalise things. Did you have to pay before hand for entering?

    Wadda ya gonna do? Throw a wheel through their window. I am sure Adam will do the right thing, he is an honourable bloke and did his very best to give you guys an event, it wan't his fault that the wankers in Melbourne decided to **** up.
