It is held at the Canberra Racecourse in the suburb of Mitchell, off Northbourne Avenue.
Summernats features many street machines with airbrushed artwork, and restored and modified cars. It is held over a four day period, with many events, with prizes in competitions such as for
burnouts. There are also parades of cars around the track. Also is a Miss Summernats competition, and fireworks at night. It has increasingly been promoted as an event for families.

The Summernats start in Canberra today, which is ample reason to avoid the inner north of town, especially if on a (push) bike! There will be plenty of street machine petrol heads screeching around the streets to show off their burn out skills, and practicing their taunts of anyone with the potential to wear a skirt in preparation for the wet T‑Shirt competition.
