Despite the brakes on early for walk-up spectators, Summernats enjoyed a record one-day crowd of 46,000 people on Saturday, filled with magnificent mullets, bountiful burnouts, and acres of well-polished metal gleaming in the sun.
Summernats co-owner Andy Lopez was well-pleased with the four-day event's progress and attributed much of the seamless operation so far to months of pre-planning and organisation.
