hi les i never went last year due to my expected police over presence, i was expecting something like shepparton where the police set up road blocks and pull over any one with a hotted up vehicle and inspect them supposedly for drugs and illegal firearms only to give most vehicles a defect sticker. did you hear many reports of police being over zealous on a defenceless body, aka modified car enthusiasts?
cheers adam

Hi Benny,All our events are similar to Springnats with driving events burnouts etc.
As for Police presence,this was very minimal,seen one defect and a couple of entrants told me that they got done for speeding on the way up from Adelaide,mostly police worked with us and you should have seen the street cruise,people 5 deep along both sides of the main drag,what event offers that in OZ. Cheers Les |

Yeah, I cruised up to the Bridge for a look see and on the way up passed through 5 speed cameras. There were no cops pulling over people to defect however, which was good to see.
Inside the event there were plenty of burnouts on offer with a mix of V8's, 6's and some rice too. Not heaps of cars on show, but it was only the first year so would expect many more this year. There was also drifting demos and go to whoa. Certainly an event I will once again be attending. |

MEDIA RELEASE
Murray Bridge Autofest 2008. South Australians should be proud that their Goverment are sponsoring the Murray Bridge Autofest 2008 This has got to be Great news for all car enthuists as it does show that some Goverments do see the benifits that we all bring to their regions.Springnats in Victoria is also sponsored by the Victorian Goverment.As in any sponsorship these partnerships are an important part on the makeup of any event and a must at keeping prices to the Entrant and Spectator to a minimun. We all under stand that as costs of hire,insurance,employment etc etc continue to increase we need to continue to attract corporate sponsorship to help keep costs to you as low as possible as well as also lifting the profile of our sport/hobby. The Rural City of Murray Bridge is continuing its strong suport and have already finding ways on how the Supercruise could be extended as well as increased public parking areas. ALSO you can Enter the Show and Shine ONLY for $100.00 and this also pays for TWO people and an Event T-Shirt But cannot be apart of any driving events apart from the Supercruise. www.springcarnationals.com |

Back from Summernats for a couple weeks then off to Murray Bridge, sounds like January is going to be a busy one for me. I like the idea of a special interest carpark too, people with nice classic cars entered in the events or not don't want to park them in the carpark next to someones magna, well I know I don't anyway.
It could also act as a viewing area if the public has walkthru access? Can't think of a better way to celebrate Australia day! Scott
