When we announced that we were adding two Rods Out burnout comps to the Street Machine Drag Challenge program for 2024, we had high hopes that we could put on a couple of great shows. The response, however, has far exceeded our expectations!
For starters, we have some seriously big guns entered in both competitions, including Mick Brasher, Peter Grmusa, Heath Waddington, Wal Gersekowski, Rick Fuller and Tim Brown, to name just a few. Other highlights include Chris Orchard at The Bend with both THE GAME and GAME OVER, while at Heathcote we have Shannon Heraud and Adam Slorach ready to run amok.
If you want to join in, we have a couple of spots left, click here.
They’ll be competing for a share of $30,000 prize money and the chance to win one of two Pro Burnouts tickets to Street Machine Summernats 37. And the winner of Open Class at each event will score a Wildcard entry to the Last Chance Wildcard competition on the Thursday of Summernats 37.
For Rods Out #1 at Dragway at the Bend on 1 November, burnout competitors can arrive anytime during the day to take in the Drag Challenge racing and get their cars prepared. After Drag Challenge racing wraps up at 3pm, we’ll have five hours of action on the pad from 4pm until 9pm.
For Rods Out #2 at Heathcote Park Raceway on 2 November, we’ll run the burnouts simultaneously with the racing from 3pm to 8pm. This format worked perfectly at the Summernats Slam Top Fuel meeting in 2022, and we reckon the vibe will be impeccable!
