Day 19-26 Alice Springs to Ayres Rock

The Summernats is a car festival held at the begining of the year in Canberra, Alice Springs held it's version over the past 4 days called the RED CENTRE NATS . This event was the first of it's kind here in Alice with all entrants being issued with a permit to drive their heavily modified car on the public streets of Alice Springs.
    Hot rods, coupes, sedans and utes, mild and wild, blowers and tubbed nothing was left out. They had a designated route and of course there were rules. We had a street parade, and the drags, the Dyno cell where entrants could have the horsepower of their vehicle measured.
Show car on display, grass driving events , a Friday night rock'n'rumble concert and of course the Burnout competition.
There were cars everywhere in town , it was car lovers paradise .
The event exceeded expectations with event merchandise selling out , they even ran out of tickets. We were told that they were to enter about 100 vehicles , at last count there were 600 or so.
So we would say the event was a success, and really good for the town of Alice Springs.
Under blue skies and quite mild temperature we left Alice bound for Ayres Rock.
