Snapped

It’s the dry season, and there’s no shortage of events in the Top End Check out who’s been out and about this week

The smell of burnt rubber lingered in the air when the V8 Supercars took to the track at Hidden Valley recently.

Figures show this year’s event drew a bumper crowd of nearly 42,000 punters eager to see the likes of Fabian Coulthard, Craig Lowndes and Jamie Whincup behind the wheel.

Entertainment across the weekend included Hilltop Hoods featuring Illy, Hot Dub Time Machine and Russell Morris. There was also an aerial display by the ADF, and the usual Merchandise Alley, where fans stocked up on race-related goodies. Pictures: GLENN CAMPBELL &
