RedCentreNATS is shaping up as Australia's Ultimate Festival of Wheels and is set to feature a famous car known as the 'Cuz Mobile' this year.
This forms part of a partnership with the Right Tracks program to encourage Aboriginal youth to become involved in the event.
Right Tracks is a collaboration between the Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, Central Australian Football Club and Australian Drug Foundation, which encourages young people in Alice Springs and surrounding communities to create positive change in health, education, employment and leadership, using sport as a key hook.
Now Aboriginal youth are being steered in another exciting direction through car building, modification and painting projects to encourage greater community participation in the three-day Red CentreNATS.
Students from the Clontarf Academy at Yirara College are rebuilding a Ford BA XR6 and are transforming it into a new Cuz Mobile with support from Alice Springs Town Council,
This is the first year of an ongoing partnership between Right Tracks, Red CentreNATS, Northern Territory Major Events Company, Car Festivals, the Northern Territory Government, Ngurratjuta/Pmara Ntjarra Aboriginal Corporation, Charles Darwin University and Yirara College.
Red CentreNATS is set to kick off on Friday, 3 September with hundreds of entrants expected at Alice Springs.
To catch all the action at this year's Red CentreNATS, snap up a general admission ticket from $30 per day, or grab a three Day Chrome Pass for $50.
