Canberra: Thousands of car lovers have gathered in the capital for the Street Machine Summernats 37. This festival is a big deal, showcasing cars worth over $70 million!
About 130,000 folks are expected to join the fun at Exhibition Park from January 2 to January 5. It’s a weekend packed with excitement!
Andy Lopez, one of the festival’s co-owners, mentioned that the vibe in Canberra is already buzzing. It’s like a family reunion for car enthusiasts from all over Australia.
There’s a mix of cars, music, and lifestyle. Big names like Jet and Eskimo Joe are performing, and it’s great to have live music at the festival!
Plus, there’s a chance to win $50,000 in the Pro Burnout Series. That’s a sweet deal for anyone participating!
Every year, Summernats brings something fresh. This time, there are 20 new car builds that have never been seen before. It’s all about the passion and hard work that goes into these cars.
Lopez highlighted how much effort goes into building these cars. Each one has a story, often tied to family and friends. It’s a real community effort.
The festival also boosts Canberra’s economy, filling up cafes and hotels during a quieter time of year. Last year, it generated over $40 million for the area!
While there were some issues last year, like fights and hooning, Lopez reassured everyone that 99% of attendees are just there to have a good time. This year, they’ve ramped up security to keep things safe.
With more police and security on site, they’re ready to ensure a fun and safe environment for everyone. Summernats is all about showing off cars in a safe way, and it’s a blast!
