RED CentreNATS kicked off in style last night at Alice Springs Inland Dragway, with the qualifying rounds of both the Burnout Masters and Burnout Championship events.

It was awesome to see the return of Dave Cufone in the new, NASCAR-powered 1FATRAT. Sounded mint!

Peter Grmusa put on a excellent show in his 700-cube Holden ute until it stopped suddenly and our pick of the night was Jono Kelly in his Blue Meanie VK.
