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.
