guys n girls, i don't mean to sound like an old fart here but i went to springnats 4 years in a row, the first time was when that kid got run over by a semi, and that year was awesome until that happened. every year after that the coppers got worse n worse. i've never seen anything like it. they :) (the cops) were canary-ing anything that had an exhaust n wheels. they were even canary-ing cars on trailers! that was the second year. it was out of control. the year after that the crowd numbers were down n i got done for drinking in public :D ($200 on the spot) people were getting canaried and epa'd due to the turbo craze. they were gettin people with a blow off valve and/or inter-cooler. the 4th year was a little better but the cops still let u feel their presence. I'm not baggin the event at all because even tho the cops were so called "doin their job" the actual event at the deca is awesome. the only reason i didn't go last year was because i entered my weekender into easternats. it is a top weekend in shepp n i would fully recommend goin but a word of advise, take a roadworthy car and behave or they'll get ya.
