Steven Loader made the Burnout Masters final after qualifying from a field of 39 cars in his Blown Injected BBC HT Sedan “USMOKE”.

After an awesome qualifying skid his Finals attempt was stopped by a tyre fire. Only solution was to reverse to the start line and finish the tyres off.

Adam Slorach takes the 6 Cylinder win at Summernats 35 in his Blown 202 HR Ute “NUMNUTZ”.

Rick Fuller takes the Runner-up spot in the Burnout Masters at Summernats 35 in his Blown Injected LS powered HX Sedan “FULLONX”.

Justin Pitsikas was on a mission during the Wildcard Qualifying at Summernats 35 until the Gearbox left him with a Box full of Neutrals in his Blown EFI BMW “REFINED”.

Aiden Stampalia achieved in a few weeks what takes most months or years.

Over the last 12 – 18 Aiden has been working on the car and just 18 days before Summernats the Torana was nothing more than a bare shell with the chassis work and exhaust completed.

With the help of a few mates and Streetline Automotive the car was completed in record time, with a quick Burnout Test before leaving it was then towed across the Nullabor for a shot at the Wildcard competition.

Things didn’t go exactly to plan with the car experiencing tyre fires in both Burnouts but the acheivement of getting the car to the event and performing in front of a record crowd is something that should be commended.

Phil Kerjean takes the Runner-up Spot during the Burnout Championship at Summernats 35 and dedicates his podium finish to his close friend Sam Fenech who tragically passed away over the weekend in a Drag Racing accident.

Our sincere condolences to the Fenech family.

Pete Grmusa secured a spot into the Burnout Masters after placing in the Top 5 at Gazzanats Darwin, always one to put on a show in his Blown Injected Chev powered XR Falcon “ATRISK”, the Falcon is one of the Angriest cars at the event.

All went well during the qualifying run until he got stuck facing a wall and the reverse gear selector nut failed.
