I've been watching video after video on youtube of summernats and can't get enough of it, it looks like a real good event that I will definitely be going to when I have a car worthy of it.
The only thing I want to know is, how does the cruise route or tuff street work, whatever it's called.
You always see videos of people standing along the cruise route amping people up to do burnouts and what not.
What I want to know is how does this work? Are competitors allowed to just drive around doing burnouts? In a few videos you see security guards put stickers on cars windshields that have done massive smokers. Is it like a three sticker warning or your out system? Just a bit confused as to how that section of the event works...
Sorry if this all sounds stupid or I have it all wrong, just new to summernats!

No static burnouts. There is speed limit on the cruise route i think is20km/h.

The amount of bogan/leb ####wits along tuff street it ####ed they get drunk abuse the **** out of everyone. Ive seen cars hit and had bottles smashed on them.

We went down tuff street once or twice and avoided it after that.

Ahh, I see. So it's really just a cruise route for a bit of fun. So no massive stand still full throttle burnouts? Just a few little here and there but mostly for cruising.
Yeah, everytime I see a video on youtube it seems as if everyone runs out as soon as someone does a burnout and starts grabbing the car and pushing it etc.
Are the stickers I see on the videos a warning or something?

Stickers are to show your entered security rip them off when they kick you out so you cant come back in.

Theres plenty of huge standstills especially later on saturday. Mob rule sorta tajes over

The rest of the cruise route is much more civil.

Summernats is overrated. Trust me. I've been to 13 of them and it's still full of the same idiot bogans.
I hear this quite a lot, and it may well be right. I've just been watching it since I was a kid and have always wanted to go. I may hate it, I may love it, at least I can say I went to at least one!

Ahhhh, it all makes sense now! I guess with that many bogans and lebs in one spot the crowd is sure to reach full control over the security haha!

Still sounds like a fun weekend out spectator wise. Don't think I'd be taking my pride and joy if I were to build something in the future worthy of it....
