One of the absolute highlights of any Summernats is the Wildcard Shootout held on Thursday afternoon. This is the last chance for entrants to secure a spot into the Burnout Masters Qualifying field. With 33 cars competing for these last few available spots into the Masters, you can be certain there will be ZERO Mechanical sympathy.
On this episode of The Nugget Project we conclude the bend enduro trip series, it’s race day!

BLOWN INJECTED VL “OVERTHETOP” AT SKIDFEST 15
ANGRYQ SMASHING TYRES AT SKIDFEST 15
This isn’t your average VT Commodore, and it definitely isn’t LS1 powered either!
With the monster PSI – D series blower and hat sitting higher than the roof line of the car (which I might add is a attached to a full vacuum moulded carbon fibre shell), and that massive blower is bolted to a BAE 521 cube TSP Noonan Headed Hemi, it’s a serious peice of kit!
This is another awesome addition to our field of Blown Cars here in Perth, Western Australia…. Check out a few of the shake down passes in the Slammer from the October Test and Tune, and keep an eye out for this one in our Blown Car Championship Round videos!

FOGGIN RIPPING IT UP AT SKIDFEST 15
Any trainspotters on the Channel probably recognize this pretty unique ute from a couple of years back… (Locals in the radial scene don’t count 😂)! We were set to tee up a pretty epic video of the ute and spent a fair amount of time putting together a trailer video that you can still find on our Instagram and Facebook to hype all the viewers up… Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and we never did get to see it break into the 7’s… or see it wheels up, which it’s renowned for!
The car sat in hibernation for a good while and then out of nowhere found its way back to the track for this event! So yes, we finally were able to get some decent videos of it making a pass… but the Ute had other ideas in the way of those being nice clean A-B jobs… Nevertheless it was just as impressive watching Jesse pedal this monster down the track, we certainly know what it’s capable of doing and we are confident that it wont be too far off next time we see it back at the track!
