Never been, not a fan of the burnouts, but some of the cars look unreal. Might have to give it a look in '24.

What surprised me was the amount of lebs wearing bum bags. I thought it was just a bit of a gimmick. But dudes actually rock up like that. I still don’t understand it.

A rod next to Norms shop seems appropriate.

I am getting quite fond of the patina style cars.

Silver seems such an uninspired colour choice in this environment.

summernats MAAAAD

looks like things are getting pretty loose, especially the night activities

are you noticing any trends with the torries?

looks to me that chrome trim is out?

maybe because no trim around rain gutter but it looks like in pics a few have had gutter trim?

The trend here is “drive it”. From an appearance perspective more are shiny than patina.

By its nature there are a lot more modified than stock/restored cars.

Seeing the cars alive really makes it the pinnacle event.

Great pics, nice cars there.

Saw on FB that dick in the yellow VN pulling a big skid out on the public road on the way out, hope he didn't stuff it for everyone.

Of all the images, that is the pick of the bunch in my opinion. The meanest, baddest factory US GM car. Not too many will outrun one of these, back then an LS6 was the king of the hill.
