I went to summernats 3 those were very wild days , I remember a near riot on northbourne ave ,cops & police dogs everywhere ,it all started when the channel ten news crew went to stir **** so they could get their hoon story ,
Everyone started pelting them with what ever they could find, most of the crowd already had a gutful of the police harassing them by that time defecting everything they could pull over and totaling ignoring any rust bucket that happened to drive past without an entrant sticker on the windscreen
After that year the cruise on northbourne ave was cancelled ,and went I to number 5 it was dead compared to number 3 ,and from what people have told me summernats have never got the numbers it had in those days ,before the security crackdown on bad behavour ,but it was for the best as there was a lot of pressure from the goverment to cancel it for good
By the way I was a witness to Number3 not a participant
