HOUSKEEPING

We know you’re stoked to spend another day at Summernats! But there are a couple of things we need to chat about before you decide to camp on Wednesday.

  • Wednesday is an additional night of camping, it’s not available as a one-night option.
  • Access is only for scrutineered cars. You must go through scrutineering at GIO Stadium first.
  • The site is not accessible without a Wednesday camping pass or to entrants who are not camping.
  • Buddies must be already booked with you as the entrant, and camping on your allocated site.
  • There is strictly NO CRUISING. Entrant vehicles are allowed to be driven from trailer parking to your designated campsite only.
  • All non-entrant vehicles that are on site, like your camping vehicle, must be parked on your campsite and cannot move until the end of the event.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday night at Summernats 36. It’s gonna be huge!
