And are we surprised? An event that attracts half the hoons in the country? And Mr Barr thinks this is good for Canberra?

The Event was Fantastic until Day 3, No traffic control resulted in traffic jams for 3 to 4 hours. I didn’t help that no one was directing parking either in epic, not sure what happened on the 3rd day really because day 1,2 and 4 were great. There was an increased police presence on day 2 which kept all the trouble makers thinking twice which was great to see. So what happened day three you ask to make it such a disaster. 1st it was alot hotter than any of the 4 days. This is what has happened for the last few years now, the organisers did not change the colour or enforce entry security to check every wrist band because if they did they would have kicked out thousands I beleive. We were watching multiple events and there alot of people bragging that they got in for free because they just used last year’s coloured wrist bands. No security checked us for the whole 4 days, this resulted into the crap which took place on day 3 being 5 times bigger than sold out! How do we work this out? Days 2 and 4 were sold out but were 1/4 the size crowds. I am going to write a email to the summernats organization reporting there access problem and I bet with more security, better traffic management and stricter entry checks the trouble makers won’t risk bad behaviour, that and no Alcohol on site till 4pm with better catering. The problems outside of the summernats was planned by some of Canberra’s younger crowds inviting outsiders to come and run a muck in canberra over the 4 to 5 days n nights. We went to a car meet Friday night at majura with my sons performance car and caught up with friends and made new friends, it was great for about an hour before idiots started turning up and high reving and 2 stepping there car engines trying to provoke crowd reactions. No one reacted to this crap so the trouble makers left. There was no idiots trying to do burnouts and the police were also cool! Talking and hanging out with the two clubs members, asking about the cars they liked. Very chilled relaxed atmosphere for 2 hours. We left after that and it was a great turn out. We avoided braddon and other locations because of hearing there were riots happening. I say in future lock them up! Teach the trouble makers a lesson that the law enforcement officers deserve respect and compliance with the law. The large Riot groups at eaglehawk and braddon should have seen a large quantity of people locked up overnight in the civic cells. They will think twice after sleeping on cold concrete all night with a $500 fine for disturbing the peace. The police need to get the trouble makers early and set a police presence in showing we are more ready than you. And there will be consequences if you want to make trouble.
