Mighty DEALS
If it’s got wheels, Terry is your man, and
he was able to line up some mental burnout
and drift cars for us, in what was shaping up
to be the ultimate mechanical showdown.
The aim, aside of course from absolute
tyre torture, was to host a burnout
competition between dedicated big
horsepower burnout cars, drift cars and of
course, ‘Filthy’.
But, beyond that, we also wanted to
provide the general public with a better
understanding of the sport of burnouts,
covering its strong roots in drag racing and
its now worldwide popularity as a legitimate
motorsport.
After leaving it up to Terry to hook us
up with the wildest burnout and drift cars
on offer, we turned up on the day and
admittedly our jaws dropped when we saw
what Filthy would be up against.
Well-known burnout chariots‘Vicious’ and
‘Gamble’ were warming up as we arrived,
and their idle alone could be felt throughThe craziest of all,
the burnout guys!
