Rods Out is a two-day, two-state, torture test for the best burnout cars and drivers in the country. There’s $30,000 up for grabs as well as two Pro Burnout Series tickets to the greatest burnout showdown of them all – Street Machine Summernats! This means spectators at Dragway at The Bend (1 Nov) and Heathcote Park Raceway (2 Nov) get to see Australia’s toughest street cars racing, as well as our toughest burnout cars!
