The Best in the Burnout Business Smoke Out Winton Raceway at the Ultimate Burnout Challenge #9
WHEN it comes to burnout comps away from the Street Machine Summernats main stage, the Ultimate Burnout Challenge (UBC) is the big kahuna. Now nine years strong, UBC started with a conversation between two legends of the sport, Clint Ogilvie and Steven Loader, while they were cruising home to Melbourne from a burnout show in Queensland.
“We got thinking: Us guys with these crazy blown and injected engines are spending a fortune on our cars and travelling around to events all over the country,” Clint recalls. “It’d be nice to see the promoters put up a bit more prize money.”
Back then the most you could expect to take home for winning a burnout comp was only around $5000, with most events barely coughing up four figures.
“We just thought, we’re the ones putting on the show here, and the sport ain’t cheap, so why not do our own thing and give back to the guys that are out there spending big and putting on a show for everyone,” Clint continues.
