A big thankyou to Summernats

Summernats would eat SGS alive!
Hell, Summernats would eat me alive.

Well, it’s always a good weekend to dash out to Fyshwick for personal supplies – a lot of shops have discounts for Summernats weekend.

Allegedly.

Me too I stock up Meguiars products which are otherwise hard to find. Not going this year though.

You could get some pics of the petrified ‘entertainers’. Someone I know was sent there to do puppet shows once and is still scarred for life.

i wonder if sgs will attend to compile a report, or just whinge about summernats as it disrupts his cardigan deliverys.

summernats has become way more civilised in the last 6 or 7 years.

the heavy promotion of friday as family day helps moderate the more primal boganish acts – hey even bogans understand the deal.

as saturday drags on it becomes more fun.

i go for the cars and aftermarket trade stands.

everything else is a bonus.

Cheers mate, It was in response to a work thing, loosely relatesd around impressions such as this

Actually a few years ago we never had this sort of problem. (we had Summernats accreditation in 2003 IIRC)

There are two possible reasons why this has changed as far as I can tell.

1) World+dog now has a little read blog and is trying to get media accreditation, easier to say no to all of them rather than figure out which ones are worthwhile.

2) Every opinion ever voiced by anyone on here is taken to heart and the recipients attribute it to site management (because otherwise we’d have deleted it to spare their feelings?). So as the readership has grown we’re now thought of as being overwhelmingly negative and likely to not be a source of good publicity.

Possibly it’s a little of column A and a little of column B.

Frankly it doesn’t worry me too much, they’re the ones missing out.

Random question JB,

Have you guys experienced any dramas with the percieved notion that Bloggers (i.e. RA, not Concat,is seen as a blog) aren’t actually considered as journalists?

Cool. Down with Stanhope! Lets coup!

Thumper – can you drive one of these beasts – Ill stand in the hatch with my toughest “Corporal Punishment” poses on while we roll up to the lodge 🙂
