The All New SPRINGNATS

[les adams]

The ALL new Springnats:

For years we have been asked for shade, garden upgrades, seating, better facilities etc well the time has came for a change. After looking at moving to another City and giving much thought it has been decided that as of November 27th 2009 Springnats will now be held at the Shepparton Showground’s.

The Shepparton Showground’s have been chosen as the most suitable venue after consideration of new and upgraded facilities, these include, Grandstand, new grassed areas, air conditioned auditoriums and a new hard stand surface which will cater for all the traditional Springnats driving events.

Benefits Include:
Central Location
Shaded areas
More secure premises
Much more user friendly amenities
Minutes from retail shopping
Opportunity to leave your car onsite all weekend
Brand new Driving Events Area that will far exceed expectations
No more driving through paddocks for parking

Major future improvements also include a new large indoor facility which will house approximately 80 to 100 vehicles and new shedding that will be able to be used as garages.
Once these facilities are in place we will also be able to include an indoor show as well.
Springnats caters for all Street Rods, Street Machines, Restored and Kustoms

Sounds good Les, but you better sort out the police situation otherwise numbers are gonna continue to dwindle as everyone is too scared to go to the springnats for that reason only.

Press Release: 29 July 2009
“THE MONARO FROM HELL COMING TO THE SHEPPARTON SPRINGNATS”
A radical custom-built Monaro which was exclusively unveiled at the Melbourne International Show will seen for the first time in regional Australia at the upcoming Shepparton Springnats in November. Designed, commissioned and built locally, the Auto-Tek Adaps Monaro has been described as the Monaro from ‘HELL’.
The vision was to keep the much-loved design of the 2005 Holden Monaro GTO but make it more ‘radical’. After 18 months of work and many hundreds of thousands of dollars, the team believe they have delivered. Every panel on the vehicle has been hand-crafted from steel, with the roofline lowered by 2 inches, and the body widened by 10 inches. The only non-steel piece of the body is a carbon fibre rear skirt.
Powered by a 6 litre Corvette engine, the six-speed Monaro is intended to be street-legal. The tyres are the widest allowed on a road-legal vehicle.
The two instigators behind the project, Auto-Tek’s Bob Roman and Adaps’ Paul Halstead, say the project was a lot harder than it initially appeared. “We planned on spending a few tens of thousands, but decided the project had to be done properly.” Paul says. “We wanted it to showcase Australian automotive expertise and design vision.”
Bob says Auto-Tek have a long history of developing concept cars that have achieved the status of automotive icons, including the Ford Arrow two-door coupe, Raptor Gullwing Ute and the famous The Beast Holden Ute. “The future favours the brave. We’re proud to be at the cutting edge of automotive design, engineering, construction, manufacture and marketing. The expertise we build up on these concept vehicles is directly transferrable to our Original Equipment and Consumer products and service.”
The attention to detail and commitment to quality is clear throughout the vehicle. The rear lights have been retained, but with the glass re-shaped to fit the new body. The interior uses the finest quality leather and suede. And there’s a real sense of pride among the team.
