I don't go anymore. It's not 'car enough'. Too many guys who think they can drink and too many woman who are only popular for 4 days! IMO Easternats is better!

I have been to the Summernats every year for many, many years.
It is not really a place for a respectable woman, however if she would like to come, ensure your relationship is secure, as every year I see many relationships fight as the woman wants 'quality time'. Summernats is not good for that. as there is so much to take in. My wife has been and we had no issues, but many friends who have come with me have had issues. It is a great event, and the media only really show the bad points, and not the good points. It is not really a driving event like Easternats.
