AWWWW GAY (N)

by **XR_Lightning** » June 29th, 2009, 7:34 pm

yeah just read this in the local paper aswell, what a load of shit it is, fukin horse racing kents, no one gives a shit about horses, we want cars doing skids n shit

by **SnyperEB** » June 29th, 2009, 7:52 pm

And the government and the police wonder why they cant stop people racing on the streets. If the residents dont like it fukn move away you wankers.

John De Blauw must be a fukn marsupile if he cant sleep during it. Its during the day you dickhead.

Shame on the victorian police, they are taking everything away from them. Guess where there going to do what you would do at Easternats there going to do it on the streets. Dont blame hooning for the road toll blame the victorian police well done boys. :drinks2:

Stop looking at ways of taking the cars off people and start providing safe inviroments for it.

by **Frost** » June 29th, 2009, 8:04 pm

**** the Police.

Organise a big Meet in protest, 1000's of cars many 1000's of people, lets see the media get onto that, be much better than michael jackson

by **Zekey's Falcy** » June 29th, 2009, 8:11 pm

we'll still have winternats :grin:

by **Michael (HYPOEB)** » June 29th, 2009, 8:17 pm

is calder ever going to open again?

there gose all the place's i can take my car to run up the 1/4.

by **holmsy** » June 29th, 2009, 8:22 pm

downer on that is the media would just play it up as hoons rioting even if its peaceful.

by **EdFairmontGhia** » June 29th, 2009, 8:29 pm

should see if all the other clubs are up for it, we only have to call certain channels they'll be all over it, dave you can be our spokes person, put up a nice welcoming front...

Shaun the police didn't shut this down. It was the residents who live near there. Funny thing is I'm pretty sure they knew wtf that track was when they decided to live there.
How I see it is, the V8's, easternats, driver dynamic drive days would bring in 11ty billion times more coin that those complaining assholes who live close by could ever bring in their entire lifetime.

It's a shame that they shut it down and you're all right, it will just create a hell of a lot more work on the boys in blue which in turn creates more hate for them for just doing their job.

Give the residents ear plugs and tell them to harden the fu(k up. This is Australia, and they know when it comes to Easter that this stuff happens, book a holiday and piss off somewhere else if you don't like it!!

by **Sunboost** » June 29th, 2009, 8:53 pm

I hear there's a protest on Princes Hwy this Friday at 11PM. Starting at and around the Sandown Pub then cruising up and down the highway. Tell your mates, and tell them to tell their mates. Maybe SMS it too - just to make sure.

by **wicksy** » June 29th, 2009, 8:54 pm

fark, we are trying to get a event like that up here in mackay, the local council seems keen on the idea sofar

by **EBOOST** » June 29th, 2009, 8:56 pm

yeah same as calder except calder didnt close down due to it.
but alot of people complained about the race track an wanted it shut down.
seriously check where u buy before moving then u wont have a problem.
as said it will create more trouble for the boys in blue.
cheers josh.

I smell a troll.

1) some thread about a drag car ("what car should I get lulz?")
2) a thread about an EA which might be TT + twin carb, might have extractors, or might just have a big V8, might be a drag car.
3) how old are you?
4) you're from Queensland. Easternats is in Victoria.

by **goslowea** » June 29th, 2009, 9:14 pm

This sure is a sad time for car lovers out there. The question is where can the enthusiaste take their car now? On the street so it can get impounded and compound the hate towards the boys&girls in blue doing their job? Wonder if the Noble riot will ever happen again? :banghead:

by **bushman** » June 29th, 2009, 9:24 pm

that's as gay as elton john, easternats getting cancelled some of oz's best known cars reside in victoria and its probly the biggest event like that besides the summernats

by **UNEZED** » June 29th, 2009, 9:59 pm

thats fukd easternats is an awsome event and makes shitloads of cash
also the track and most events named above have been there since before the stupid fukers even had houses there

by **John_LS1** » June 29th, 2009, 10:10 pm

Well that is just shit, very dissapointing to hear.

by **LTDHO** » June 30th, 2009, 7:31 am

Damn!

In saying that, there is something we can do. You'd have to be pretty dedicated though.

build our own track and hold our own easternats? :drinks2:

by **Frost** » June 30th, 2009, 8:55 am

A peaceful protest could be organized.

Something like notify local authorities and council (which you have to do anyway legally)

Block east and west bound lanes on the princess each set of traffic lights, do it at peak hour (police will legally help) lol. Dont do anything in the cars just leave them parked.

Set a time for the protest 8am till 9am etc, get the media, council and local residents attention. And if anyone does a hoon activity, have the police ping them and reassure the media that's what your trying to get off the street.

by **BROCKYB8** » June 30th, 2009, 12:09 pm

Well Jon davidson has actually been talking to other places in past
2 years he had similar problems with the racing club and residents and was looking at alternative. However they allowed it to go ahead
If i remember at the time he had spoken to phillip island about it. ( something that id highly doubt would happen)

Easternats has been in the papers with complaints for atleast 6 years so there is always somethng happening because of it

You cant be serious that you dont think the cops had something to do with this at all.

I am serious actually mate. I know quite a few cops and MOST of them are all for the easternats, and why wouldn't they? It's an outlet for the drivers to let loose. Now that it's been banned it's up to the police to sweep up the mess it will create for them.

Believe it or not, the cops aren't all bad.

by **EFFalcon** » June 30th, 2009, 1:13 pm

maybe so Tim.
but for every cop that supports easternats i can garentee there would be another that doesn't.

I'm amazed Gup hasn't brought it down there yet. Maybe he's working on it coz it'll be bigger there than anywhere else...?

by **Steady** » June 30th, 2009, 1:19 pm

the venue pulled out of hosting it, would be almost 100% pressure from the council.
unless the police press charges against the venue operator, how could they possibly be influencing the decision?
blame the people doing skids along the back straight.

by **fordbaby** » June 30th, 2009, 1:25 pm

alot of u guys like blaming the police for alot of things.
maybe it could have something to do with the wanna be heros who do stupid shit when they leave. most of thay shit happens at that event and its true cause people talk about it and brag about it all.

as for the residents in the surrounding area they knew the place was there so just deal with it

by **EFFalcon** » June 30th, 2009, 1:26 pm

Easternats is simply an easy target, no big backing like most Racing events.
lets see them ban the supercars... they're too loud

by **nothin suss** » June 30th, 2009, 1:30 pm

I would be fukn gutted if i lived nearby Sandown and wasn't a street car enthusiast... The amount of smoke that carries across the highway or to the neighbouring houses would be annoying. Especially if you puchased your home before the events' beginnings.

I've had some great times at Easternats, and hopefully things like the Performance Car Nats take off. Looking forward to that. Camping, cruising, should be great. Phillip Island would be even better.

by **fordbaby** » June 30th, 2009, 1:38 pm

ban the supercars and have them in carrum downs.
make the track around all the streets here

by **t1MMy** » June 30th, 2009, 1:46 pm
