Car enthusiasts are in for a treat not only with sights but also with the sounds as the first ever burnout competition will be held during the Island Summer Auto Fest this Saturday, Sept. 24.
The burnout competition itself will be from 3pm to 6pm and will be held at the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library parking lot, while the autofest will be held at the Marianas Business Plaza until 9pm.
The entry fee is $25 per car. There will be a cash prize and trophy for the winner.
“It will be a maximum of 20 cars burning out on a metal plate for 30 seconds to produce the biggest smoke. This is NMTech’s Automotive Outreach to entice more students to join our Automotive Technology Class. We invite you to come down, take some cool photos, learn more about the event and of course enjoy the event,” said NMTech’s marketing coordinator Benjamin Babauta.
According to the internet, a burnout is the practice of keeping a vehicle stationary, and spinning its wheels, the resultant friction causing the tires to heat up and smoke.
