As this years event is a qualifying event for the Liqui-Moly Summernats #26 Burnout Masters, the winner will also collect a golden ticket into the 2013 Burnout Masters. There will also be awards for the top 10, longest traveled, best presented and most impressive (perhaps not to the owner!) blow up known as the carnage award.

PLEASE NOTE: Unlike regular events, at the NQ PRO Burnouts day event there is NO open class – cars enter the day event based on cylinders – anything goes (including blowers, nitrous, non-factory fitted engines, etc)

• Practice from 11AM-2PM
• Heats/Finals 2PM-6PM – 4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl classes.
• PRO entrants from 7PM.

PRO ENTRANT DETAILS!

The NQ PRO Burnouts is based on one skid per PRO entrant judged for 90 seconds. There is no qualification or heats. PRO entrants may enter the day competition, but this in no way effects the results of the PRO judging.

ENTRANT EVENT INFORMATION
Gate entry is $15 plus a nomination fee which remains at just $25. This year there is a $13,000 cash prize pool available. This is paid;

• 1st – $10,000
• 2nd – $2,000
• 3rd – $1,000.

In addition to this there is the “Top 10” number plates, the ‘Best Presented’ trophy and the trophy no one wants, the ‘Carnage Trophy’. After the event there is an entrants and volunteers only after-party. If you have mates that you wish to tag along this is fine, but it is not open to the public. Please contact the organisers to discuss additional arm bands.

VEHICLE RULES
All cars MUST be presentable to enter the PRO class. This does not mean vehicles need to be show cars, but must have colour matching panels and look reasonable. Ie; red doors on a white car with a blue bonnet is not acceptable.

TIME RULES
All PRO entrants are judged on the first 90 seconds of their burnout. Entrants may go as long as they wish without penalty.

TYRE RULES
We encourage entrants to use new or near new tyres for their judged burnout. Entrants that drive on the pad with heavily worn tyres will be frowned upon. Busting tyres prior to your 90 seconds judged time is not frowned upon.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
All our events have stop – go lights. The system is very simple and is as follows;

• Green – Go.
• Red – Something not considered dangerous is wrong with your vehicle – continue if you wish.
• Red/Green flashing –  Caution, stop immediately.

• Instant Smoke – 10 points
• Constant Smoke – 10 point
• Driver Control – 20 point
• Vehicle Performance – 10 points 

Instant Smoke is judged from the moment you start your burnout. Instant thick smoke is the key to getting points here!

Constant Smoke is judged from the moment your burnout starts until you finish your skid. The thicker the smoke the better!

Driver Control will be judged on how well you can wheel your car! Drive it hard, steer it and keep your vehicle inside the designated area without hitting the dirt. Static burnouts require no skill and will not attract points for driver control.

Vehicle Performance is judged on how well your vehicle overall performs. For example, if your engine is missing, labouring or not revving cleanly, you will lose points in this area.

If you have any questions or queries please contact Matt on 0407 168 292 or e-mail burnouts@cairnsburnouts.com.

As there isn’t a whole lot of time the promote the event I’d ask that people assist with this to make it the best it can be.
