SUMMERNATS may be the premier event on the Street Machine calendar, but Motorvation in Western Australia is slightly older (by one year) and it’s a kick-arse good time in its own right.

Part of the secret is the awesome Motorplex venue, but also the fanatical crowds that are drawn to its infamous Snakepit burnout pad. The event also had a few tweaks this year, to really ramp up the quality of cars on show.

We’ve got full coverage coming in the March issue, but for now, check out this montage put together by Peter Flint, our video man in the West. Make sure you watch all the way to the end, because that’s Flinty’s yellow XC Falcon ute winning the burnouts. Go you good thing!
