The smoke from the burnouts has cleared and the roar of souped-up engines can no longer be heard but praise for the Rare Spares Rockynats continues to reverberate around Rockhampton.
The three-day car-festival, which wrapped up on Sunday, has been hailed a huge success.
It attracted 954 cars, 323 bikes and 40,000 people, and injected more than $20 million into the city's economy.

The program also included street drags, burnouts, dyno, drifting and a show 'n' shine.
Rockhampton Mayor Tony Williams said Rockynats had delivered "something very unique" for the city.
