\u201cI ALWAYS loved going fast and testing the ability of any machine. When I was younger I raced BMX and motocross, and I did a bit of historic motorcycle racing too. But burnouts are just the best fun.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Normally, if you ever get to see cars like these, they\u2019re in a static show \u2013 you never get to see the owner absolutely handing its arse to it. It\u2019s a unique thing. We build the highest-quality cars and then go out there and give them the hardest time possible. And it\u2019s for up to two minutes at a time.<\/p>\n

<\/span>You watch a really good drag race, it\u2019s over in seconds, whereas an average burnout lasts 90 seconds. A lot of things can happen in that time, so it\u2019s exciting to watch.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Sometimes the car fights you the whole skid; sometimes it works with you. On those days when it works with you, there\u2019s no better feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>Ross, from Narre Warren, Victoria, has been an HQ man since he was a boy. \u201cGrowing up, I had an HQ Prem and a Kingswood,\u201d he says. \u201cNow I\u2019ve got this HQ plus another couple of HQ Monaros and a sedan. Building an HQ Monaro skid car is like a little kid\u2019s dream come true!\u201d<\/p>\n
