The ultimate 'festival of wheels' will return to Alice Springs this Father's Day weekend, with the sixth annual Red CentreNATS running from 4-6 September featuring an amended program and ticketing structure.
This year's event offers the usual spectacles including the famous street parade, drags, burnouts, street cruising, grass driving, show 'n' shine, 4WD-ing, motorkhana and more.
The program will again feature entertainment across three venues; Blatherskite Park, Alice Springs Inland Dragway (ASID) and Lasseters Hotel Casino.
In line with the event's COVID-19 Safety Plan, new for 2020 is an After Party at Lasseters instead of a Podium Party, with trophies awarded directly to recipients with their vehicles throughout the event this year.
Other COVID-19 precautions include increased hygiene practices and facilities throughout the venues, along with changes to the flow of people and the prominent display of COVID-19 messaging.
There will be a dedicated Fan Zone at ASID with two 40sq m super screens for fans to catch all the action from the nearby track in lieu of open public access to The Hill.
