eight drive tyres? Say hello to ...
‘Filthy’.
‘Filthy’ started her life as a highway
specialist, a workhorse built to get from A to
B. Well, fast forward 30 years, the old girl’s
had a facelift and a bit of a career change. It’s
all bling and burnouts now!
Proud owner of the wild burnout truck,
Mick Lake, was more than happy to drive
the rig out and show us what it’s capable of,
in exchange for some tyres of course!
The legends at Tyres4U hooked Mick up
with eight Double Coin tyres, which proved
to hold up well under immense punishment.
When chatting with Mick, we suggested
we pit ‘Filthy’ up against other (much
smaller) burnout machines ... not sure how
he’d react!
Well, he was keen and put us in touch with
his mate Terry Skene, who happens to own
Kingston Park Raceway in Brisbane.
