Burnout Championship Hall of Fame

The full list of Street Machine Summernats Burnout Champions

Share

THE defining feature of the Street Machine Summernats is the iconic burnout pad. The Street Machine Nationals that preceded it had burnouts too, but in those days, the skids were held on the cruise route. Pretty cool, but the bespoke pad set the stage for the sport to grow into the massive circus it is today. In the early days, the competition was largely made up of genuine streeters, with specialised burnout cars not appearing in large numbers until the early 2000s. Who will add their name to the list?

We’ll find out at Street Machine Summernats 35, January 5-8 2023. Note: While we’ve managed to match most of the images up to the year of the competitor’s win, there were a couple we couldn’t find, so we’ve used shots from other Summernats events.
