The Summernats is staged for Australia's best and toughest Street Machines. The "Horsepower Party" at the National Exhibition Centre in Canberra is the place if you're hungry for hands-on action around street cars. No normal show this one! There's cruisn' day and night, trade exhibitions, high performance seminars, side show attractions, rock & roll bands and hard charging "street animals". They came from all over OZ and a few from overseas for 4 days of cars showing outrageous design and "enginvity", or full restoration to classic or muscle-car glory. "It was the biggest New Year's party in town!"
