ALL year, at the toughest burnout comps across the country, tyre-fryers have been pushing their cars to the limit in the hope of earning a spot in the Summernats Burnout Masters comp.

Over the course of the year 27 drivers are chosen, leaving just three spots for the taking by the time Summernats kicks off. These three wildcard spots are filled via the Last Chance Shootout, which is being held on Friday, 2 January. Twenty-odd desperados who missed out on selection during the year will fight it out!

The current list of contenders is below, and if you know of someone you think deserves a shot at a wildcard entry, you have until Sunday night to nominate them. And yes, you can nominate yourself!

The kicker is that those three wildcard winners will have to complete three potentially car-destroying skids over the weekend if they are going to have a shot at the Burnout Masters title. Brutal!
