A friend just called and said there were riots again farken? She said bob jane got broken into and people were running out with tyres and cops couldn't do a thing?

Bloody stupid move, watch the cops crack down on all of us now, was thinking of going but i'm glad I didn't now. But then again would have been good entertainment :P

i was driving around and through the city to elwood kind of area to see a mate then back to coburg and was a bit worried there would be heaps of cops around just pulling over randoms.

These fucksticks have ruined it for all of us.

Hundreds of revheads trashed a Bob Jane T-marts store and brought the Princes Highway in Oakleigh to a standstill for several hours in protest against the cancellation of the EasterNats race meet at Melbourne's Calder Park Raceway.

The police air wing was called in to monitor the crowds after flares were set off and people flooded into the street late on Friday night, The Herald-Sun newspaper says.

The commotion started after the EasterNats race meet at Calder Park Raceway was cancelled earlier this week, and the crowds on Friday night decided to vent their anger on the sponsor's store, on the corner of Princes Highway and Warrigal Road.

As the angry fans trashed the store, breaking windows and stealing car parts from inside, witnesses and bystanders were forced to take shelter in their cars and nearby restaurants.

"Within 10 minutes there were hundreds of high-powered cars," one witness told the paper. "It was like an organised protest and we were trapped in it."

A police spokeswoman said the riotous behaviour had started some point after 11pm (AEDT) and police were clearing the scene.

EasterNats promoter Jon Davison said Bob Jane had cancelled the event "as a result of our inability to finalise a satisfactory contract".

pretty messed up
it will only inrease the devide between the hooligan hoons and the enthusiast hoons (cause we're all hoons)
theres a huge difference between enjoying fast cars (even if at times irresponsibly) and rioting and causing malicious damage
its fucked that this all gets bundled up into one group (again, hoons) and we're all seen as one and the same, but i guess who can blame the general public, from what they see and know, we're all like that simply due to the high number of similar incidents in the media

Bob Jane doesn't even have any financial interest in the stores now. They're controlled by his sons ffs

after this. Can pretty much kiss easternats goodbye. And might as well lock anything decent away in your garages because you'll get fucked over.

have to say though, if the bob jane store had aught wind of even a slight protest, you'd think they'd park the work ute inside for the weekend lol

Congrats to every fvck wit who was there last night! After shIt like that we will never see easternats here in victoria.
Bob Jane will never put up Calder as a potential candidate for it to be held at.

75% of those poeple in that video probably arent or werent even going to the event in the first place and alot of them dont even look 18!!

Worst part about it though rumours going around say that its not even Bob Jane's fault he supposably requested Jon Davison to organise for more public toilets and a better emergency PA system to be installed due to such a large event and Davison declined.

My Rant.

Ok, fess up, who was there? lol

Seriously I think bob jane and the victorian government really got the point. First thing monday morning I can see them scrambling to organise an event by easter. And that race track we have been wanting well that will be completed by the end of the year.(sarcasm)

I know everyone is a bit pissed off at the moment, but anyone who partisipated in last nights acts has just f@cked the victorian car scene. Good work guys.

i think its a disgrace what happened last night.
people are saying it was all deserved.
HELLO bob jan t-marts stores arent even owned by bob jane, they are francises which people by and own and run them selves.
well done wankers for ruining someones business that they have been working so hard to make successful then they get a pack of tossers who go down and ruin it all for them.
if people think by the actions of last night was going to improve things well then you have some screws loose in ya heads.
people just need to think before they act and realise there actions have made things so much worse for the people in the car scenes who try and go about doing things the right way

what idiots . Sorry but hope they got caught . I hope no one from boosted was involved in this .
I reckon that cops will be trawling forums looking for something about this .
Maybe john should write something in general area saying that in no way do we agree with this behavior
Just a thought

I'll post something up on the News page when i get a chance.

as 'fun' as this kinda stuff is to stand by and watch... it really does nothing to help our cause.

what other 'minority' groups riot when something doesn't go their way?
no wonder we're getting crapped on.

we will never know the exact details behind the contract not going ahead, it wont be as simple as only 2 or 3 items, but i've read that the toilets and PA were part of the issue on another forum.
but obviously all details are not being released which is fair enough.
as is the case with the car scene sometimes, alot of the battles and roumors circle through forums, unless bob jane and Jon davison are logging into a few forums lol.

i think the bob jane shop was a bad coincidence (the location) as they probly would have held the protest there anyway as we all know people like to meet to shell and KFC anyway.
the business was certainly in the wrong place at the wrong time lol
i wonder if it would have turned so ugly if there was no bob janes in any areas close by?

I feel sorry for Adam and the Team at Winton/Benella Auto Club for organising the "last minute nats" cause they are going to have a hell of a time with the cops now

FFS... I hope they all get fvcked over... hard. This is bullsh1t.

What's the bet, as Snype said, half of 'em will only get a slap on the wrist. Meanwhile other poor crunts with nice cars will get hassled non-stop.
I'm lucky that my car is far from anything special, so I'll be left well and truly alone... hopefully. I pity you blokes with hard earned streeters.

What part of "bad reputation" didn't this fvcktards get? No anyone with a cat back exhaust is gonna get or slightly low suspension is gonna be hassled.
