The removing of open speed limits has curtailed this a fair bit, The keen ones still head down this way for Open comps and NT title comps but that is about it really.
Same with long weekends to Darwin, with no speed limits you could leave home at day break and be in Darwin before dusk (less chance of wildlife) but now it can not be done (1500kls each way).
I know many people who would leave Alice at 6am Friday, be in Darwin and be drinking at the night clubs that night, Do some shopping on Saturday, party Sat night then drive home Sunday, Be home before dark.
