Darryl Ferguson tries to clear the wall at Motorvation 36 in his Blown EFI Truck “SMOKNRAT”, only to be shutdown shortly after due to an engine bay fire.
Debuting at Motorvation 36 is Justin Pitsikas’s impressive Supercharged EFI LS powered BMW. The team behind BYE Performance are responsible for the build and tune of a large contingent of Blown & Open Class Burnout Competitors in WA.
Justin & the BYE Team built the car with the sole intention of Smashing Tyres and utilizing some cool technology along the way, 33 pounds of Boost is certainly going to liven things up too. I caught up with Justin after he christened the Motorvation 36 Skidrow with this car the first Burnout laid down on the now Black piece of Staging Lane.
Before hitting the Burnout pad Justin had the idea of attempting a rolling shot of the car smoking the tyres down the Drag Strip and he managed to peel tyres for the entire quarter mile (check out the footage, it’s pretty cool). Before he even made it back to the Burnout Pad the car had destroyed a brand-new set of tyres.
After a successful day testing the new car Justin hit the Burnout Pad and everything was going perfectly until the bracket holding the DBW on the Injector Hat broke resulting in the Butterflies being stuck at full throttle, with the engine singing above 8,200rpm it sounded awesome and managed to get tyres off, only to get stuck in the chute on the way out..
Thankyou to the Perth Motorplex & Motorvation for allowing me to utilise the Skidrow Footage.

West Coast Nats took over the Perth Motorplex in September 2021 for 2 days of Tyre frying action. With 160 cars and countless tyres destroyed it’s never easy condensing so much footage into a short Highlights video, so I went the other way and put together a 35 minute highlights package.
