00:00Summer Nats is best known for one thing.
00:06Day in, day out, there's no better feeling than coming off and knowing you've done good
00:13and then you just think, man, I hope the judges agree, you know what I mean?
00:16High winds caused the burnout smoke to drift over the event. Others drifted sideways,
00:21taking along passengers to worship the horsepower gods.
00:25Oh my gosh, it felt like I just went through a religious experience, like my soul just left my body and now it's going back again.
00:32This mecca for rev heads had the supercharged, alongside the super rare, not to mention the super loud.
00:40It does 161.09 decibels. It is Australia's second loudest demo car.
00:45Volume is never a problem, Summer Nats. The rumble and roar of engines is ever present.
00:51This year's grand champion certainly made some noise.
00:54The motor should be about 750 horsepower. It should be around 600 of the wheels.
01:00I haven't done a quarter mile or anything like that in it yet.
01:03I only drove it around the block before we came here.
01:07Inside it was business at the front, party at the back, as the Mullet Fest's grand champion was crowned.
01:13I let it be its thing and I did get a perm recently, so it's a bit wavy, cut some length off it and now I just rock it.
01:19While the smaller Mullet's got a look in, so did the world's smallest car.
01:23It's unique, it's cool, grown men love it, grown women love it and the kids absolutely adore it.
01:31Well that's it for Summer Nats 38. It's been a great event loved by everybody.
01:36Welcoming cars of all shapes and sizes.
01:39Helping cars of all sizes.
01:46This car is not the key to the mall.
01:49It's been a great day.
