With over 2700 entrants, Street Machine Summernats 35 is BIG. The first official day kicked off with the City Cruise down Northbourne Avenue. The streets were lined with locals keen to check out the action.

The Last Chance Wildcard burnout comp was hectic, with Pagey putting on a spectacular display that included three tip-ins.

The new John Peterson Burnout Hall of Fame was also announced on the pad and six pivotal figures in burnout history were inducted.

For the first time in history, the Meguiar’s Great Uncover took place on Thursday night, instead of the traditional Friday. This gives the punters two full days and three nights to ogle the latest and greatest.
