When burnouts go wrong (not vw)

buzzbug - January 9th, 2005 at 09:54 AM

While standing on the cruise route trying to see some boobs being flashed, i heard this HK Monaro revving its arse out getting ready for a huge burnout.

So with camera ready i was suprised to see it erupt in flames and i snapped off a few shots.

Hopefully these might appear in Street Machine magazine as i gave them to the sub editor who missed getting them on film.

PHAT BUG - January 11th, 2005 at 10:25 PM

yeah thats the one, dont know bout the main arena, but it was in the burnouts and on the Dyno.

He made 563hp at the treads but that was only at 13pound boost, they wouldn't let him go any higher.

Could have been worse - Could have been a Ford!

No Not even the Microsoft form of excel impresses me. Bloody TV dinner foil crap cars. 3000 spot welds in lose formation (which is about 2300 less that a similar sized model.

For that thing to not implode with that sort of horse power would mean a box of rivets and a litre or two of apoxy.

VWFREAK - January 20th, 2005 at 06:34 AM

Ah Summernats, I remember it well, we'' at least the parts when I wasn't blind.

Ha Haaaaaaa...

That might teach the D#ckh3ad a lesson about laying rubber amongst a crowd of people...!!!

Looks like you weren't the only one to get pics of it either...
One guy in the background looks like he's videoing it...
