Chopped - Newstead (Vic) Oct 3,4,5

For anyone who hasn't been before, it's like a 1940's version of summernats, with dirt racing, classic cars, camping, drinking, live music, and madness!

I think you can scratch the madness this year seems the fun police have stepped in

They have?? The flipped car last year kinda seemed like a bit of a death knell....

Probably a good thing as a few tents with people sleeping in them came close to being cleaned up....only a matter of time before it went really pear shaped.

Death knell rang for me about three years ago, haven't been since. Deviated from what it really was. Too many cars let in that shouldn't be in there as set out by their own rules....hopefully this year sees a return back to its roots.

ohh yeah that DEFINATELY needed something done about it the lower camping area was insane I don't mind a bit of antics but it was ridiculous some type of cross between mad max a ute muster and a f#%kwits ball, the roll over can't really be blamed on the car it could have happened to anybody

I'm referring more to a car thing the guys that get out on the track and have a bit of a go (rattyer type cars have been told not welcome) I know some higher profile long time hot rodders from NSW that have gone since the first chopped that are no longer going and they don't have rat rods they have cars that fit in
