THE SKIDFEST IN SYDNEY’S WILD WEST

Saddle up for a hoedown in the big smoke. Where a new Burnout Master will be crowned. Handsome bounties will be found. And a wild horsepower slinger will shoot itself straight into the Burnout Masters game. When the dust settles the good Revverend will pray… For our dearly departed tread.

*HOWDY PARTNER*

Welcome to the inaugural Burnout Masters grand final shootout at Sydney Dragway featuring the world’s toughest tread-shredding beasts. It’s the new burnout frontier with a legendary reputation. Outlaws are coming from around the globe to stake their claim to the world-famous title of “Burnout Master”. Here’s your quickdraw guide to this wild horsepower party!

*THE STAKES*

All approved competitors will have one shot at qualifying for a grand final rodeo. Only 10 positions will be available. (Additional spots may be awarded at the judges’ discretion.)
Another 10 cars who’ve earned their places via top performances throughout the previous 12 months, or who possess x-factor wild card potential, will be primed and ready to meet you. (Additional spots may be awarded prior to event commencement.)
 These two groups will be combined and compete in an overall Top 20 showdown. The winning driver of this epic battle will be crowned the 2025 Burnout Master.

*LAWS OF THE LAND*

We’re all good-natured partners on this here ranch. The only rowdy stuff we want to see is on the burnout pad. Follow these simple tips and we’ll all get along just fine. 

No Rum Runnin!
Alcohol is NOT permitted. Drivers will be breath tested before burnouts. If your reading is over 0.00, you’ll be asked to return to the pit area, dry out and perhaps return later - time permitting. Don’t blow your chances!

No dust ups!

We’re all here for a rip-roarin’ time. Please do not arrive cocked and loaded. Unruly behaviour will not be tolerated. Settle any personal scores elsewhere and leave bad attitudes in the jailhouse.

No settin’ up camp!

This is a one day event and onsite overnight camping is unavailable. So plan ahead and be prepared to move your carts and wagons when the sun sets on this show. Plenty of accommodation is located nearby, but take heed, it will fill up fast!
