That was the disappointing part Leroy,
I have taken them to task a bit on social media over it.
The NT Gov funded the event, and the burnout masters held round 3 at the event, but watching it on tv it looked like it was a burnout show with some sort of car show tacked onto it.
There was over 450 cars entered, majority of which where show and shine, then drags, then burnout comp. The tv coverage showed a handful of cars in main shed (elite entries) Not a single second of footage was from Saturday/Sunday show and shine. Short part showing the Friday night cruise through town and cars arriving at Blatherskite park Friday night. Even shorter showing 2 or 3 drag runs.
Almost no footage of grass events and not a single second of motorkhana.

This TV show was an opportunity to show off just what great fun with a huge selection of events to participate or watch, and they elected to show near none of it.
