The next evolution of NZ’s Biggest & Baddest Burnout Comp is here!
Our Pro Burnouts/Summernats Burnout Competition returns to Meremere on Saturday 2nd August, and this year we’re stepping it up a level!
If you haven’t been before, you’ve seriously missed out. Think flamethrowers, a live DJ, entrant Tip In music, a mega fireworks display and a bunch of new surprises in 2025.
For the first time ever, we’re introducing two classes, giving both up-and-comers and seasoned pros a chance to throw down on the burnout pad!
OPEN CLASS
- For beginners and intermediate skidders
- Competition-style format without the pressure of going head-to-head with the pros
- Limited to 15 cars
- Competition starts at 1:00pm
PRO CLASS
- Reserved for the best of the best – high-level competitors only
- Limited to 25 cars
- Competition kicks off around 7:30pm
Total prize pool: over $11,000!
Plus: Converted Pro Burnout Series qualifying spots and Summernats Wildcard Invitations up for grabs.
Car transfers not included.
PRACTICE
The pad at Meremere will be open to all entrants from 11:00am – 1:00pm.
