They praised the behaviour of thousands of revheads who packed out Exhibition Park and streets throughout Canberra for the 28th Summernats festival, which wrapped up on Sunday.
ACT Policing's acting officer in charge of traffic operations, Tracey Duck, said police were a high-profile presence during the four-day event, and this was the second year in a row in which no arrests were made.
"We worked very hard with the organisers to make it a safe and happy event for the patrons attending, so I think it was very successful this year."
More than 108,000 car nuts descended on the capital for this year's festival, with numbers up from 103,000 last year.
This year, 1907 cars were entered in the competition, which was nearly 100 more than last year.
Summernats co-owner Andy Lopez said the growth in attendees was positive and most patrons had monitored their own alcohol-consumption and behaviour pretty well.
"We felt really in control all the way through; the crowd was big but really well-behaved.
"Everyone just wanted to have a good times and they were looking after their mates."
Sergeant Duck said while Lonsdale Street had always drawn Summernats crowds, the arrival of a slew of trendy new cafes, restaurants and watering holes meant they might consider focusing more resources on the area to keep patrons safe.
"We want to eradicate any anti-social behaviour so we would make Braddon, for instance, a bit more of a highlight if necessary.
"We're not saying that it's going to happen but we would certainly make note to ensure that patrons are having a happy time and there's no riff-raff around."
Police would not be drawn on whether several men, believed to have damaged eight cars by jumping on their roofs in Braddon on Saturday, were linked to Summernats.
Sergeant Duck said police Specialist Response Group members carried out regular walk-throughs at EPIC but were not called to intervene in any incidents inside the venue.
Mr Lopez said security guards had ejected some troublemakers, which was "often as much for their good as it is for ours".
"We don't want to throw anyone out of Summernats, we want everyone to stay and have a great time."
Police seized one car and handed out 71 traffic fines and 47 cautions, which was on par with last year.
Only one driver tested positive for drink-driving from more than 900 random roadside breath tests.
