I don't think there will be any Turbo mustangs there to crash in to you lol!!!


1. You can do frum rolls on 694 and don't have to pay to do them at BIR
2. Speed limit during the event is 90mph
3. No lights or time clocks
4. Too many days to around the ricekiller fan club
5. Car craft will be better
6. Costs a lot
7. Burnout contests have always been gay

The couple of rules they DO have are in place to keep people and their cars safe. I have spent a fair bit of time with the Aussies who put this event on and its definitely not like anything we have ever seen before. In Australia they build their cars to enjoy them, its less about competition and more about being with like minded car enthusiasts and having a safe controlled environment (unlike 694) to the do the stupid things we all love to do.

As a spectator I would much rather watch high horsepower cars get beaten on then go to a car show. Its all personal preference but imho car craft is not all that exciting.

Wow... just watched this video:

While I'd love to be proven otherwise, I have to say with all those rules I question the very point of this event.

I would suggest that might be because Australia is allegedly the world's biggest nanny state, and if they tried half of the shit we get away with here on the street, their 'military' would be dispensed to deal with such criminal behavior...
