Drug sniffer dogs could be deployed at Summernats in Canberra next year in a raft of new security proposals for Australia's biggest modified car show.

Summernats co-owner Andy Lopez said that he and his team intended to "step on" the poor behaviour seen in early January in a more robust manner for future events, with "no second chances and zero tolerance" for those who behave poorly.
