After several years out of the scene, Jamie Cato makes a return to the Burnout Pad in his awesome Small Block Chev powered Camaro “WILD68”.

He certainly showed he hasn’t forgotten how to steer with an impressive use of the huge burnout pad at Bindoon Burnouts. The Chev had other ideas, with the Block now sporting a nice size hole with a few rod bolts seeing the light of day.

After winning the Rodney award for this effort, Jamie went on to also win the Open Class after borrowing his mate’s LS powered Falcon “EBLUBLY”, unconfirmed rumours are that Jamie has already put a deposit on some LS parts for the Camaro.

A  terrific crowd filed into Redline Raceway to see it’s opening show of the season with a series round for the Grand Prix Midgets, plus the start of the Ballarat season for Street Stocks, Standard Saloons and Unlimited Sedans providing the entertainment. A close finish in the Grand Prix Midgets where Chris Fowler from Geelong defeated Alex Myers from Shepparton by just .015 of a second at the finish line as the two made differing passing decisions to get around Shawn Ward, produced a grandstand finish to their feature. Whilst in Street Stocks Jayden Blomeley of Ballarat beat Jason Degoldi by just .295 of a second to start their season. Scott Whittle put on a master class in Standard Saloons and Sean Lister was too good for the competition in the Unlimited Sedans.

Bindoon Burnouts is back, with the last event held in late 2019 it’s now been 4 years since the huge 50m x 50x Burnout Pad has seen any action.

After 6 months of planning and preparation with a whole heap of improvements to the venue the event was scheduled to take place on the 3rd and 4th of November.

Unfortunately, it had to be postponed until next weekend due to the forecast high temperature for this weekend resulting in a total fire ban. Rest assured the event will be huge next weekend with more than 100 cars pre-entered and plenty more expected on the day.
