Ute Musters

I don't want to harp on the alcohol subject but - The other weekend I attended a "Ute Muster" in beautiful down town Pingelly a small town 150km from Perth (I know in Sydney and Melbourne that this is considered a outer suburb!). The majority of the young people there with utes were in the 18-30 yr old bracket and were real proud of there utes. Even though the event was on the town oval, they had set aside a sand pit area which was ringed by large hay bales. They were allowed in one by one and did "circle work" spin the wheels etc and were awarded a prize for the best effort. Hurt anyone-no, damage anything-no. The monster truck (stress factor) had a go and was awesome- grunt like you would not believe. They then all camped on the oval for the night (band playing and bar open) were they drunk -yes some but none drove the cars remained on the oval except one and the cops were on to him like a rat up the drain pipe. My question is with the majority of places having problems with young people getting on the grog and doing wheelies and donuts on the roads (and peoples lawns) why arn't the authorities providing more of these "outlets" for the city kids as by far the majority of the people at Pingelly were from the country and you could not fault them. They had a good time with no impact on anyone else. These are a great form of young people letting their hair down. I believe that the B & S Balls would be similar. If there is someone from the correct authority out there, they may like to place their views.
This isn't 4WD related but most of us have young kids of various ages.
