6: Towards the end of the day, some guys were getting a bit
cheeky down the main straight, much to the chagrin of the
track controller
4: Joe Kurtovic’s gorgeous, blown small block-powered ’34
Ford didn’t look like this by the end of the day. It left on a
tilt tray with the rear fenders all cooked up after a toasty
excursion on the track
1: While he didn’t know it at the time, Jake Myers was striking
a winning pose on top of the iconic Mustang that has won
more burnout trophies than any other car. Jake took out the
big $10,000 first prize in the Top Gun Pro burnouts, which is
his second win from only two starts this year
2: Nathan James was another blowing tyres on the burnout
pad with his blown, big-block HQ tonner. The 8/71-equipped
461ci monster makes a lazy 650hp on just 8psi through a
Powerglide, and was on song all day. Nathan says it’s due for
a freshen-up before attacking the Summernats skid pad
5: There was nothing slow about Michael Jones’s 500hp FJ20-
powered ’71 Datto ute, known as SLUG. His fearlessness and
car control at high speed down the main straight had everyone
in awe
3: The 1100hp blown LS1 in Adam Ursino’s 1970 Datto 1200 ute
reaches way past the roof line. Like his mate Danny Younis in
the matching gunmetal grey Capri, Adam prefers to powerskid,
cruise and drift his machine around the track with his crew
