The weather was turned on and both spectators and competitors lapped up the conditions and atmosphere.

Motorsports like burnout and drift car racing competitions enable young people to do what they love to do in a safe and secure environment with regulations there for the safety of participants and spectators alike away from the roads and general public.

The big crowd of onlookers was treated to some high quality drifting on the 1.6 kilometre Collie Motorplex track.

Those that settled on the hill and grandstand were able to watch both the drift and burnout competitions at the same time, which is not possible at any other venue.

It was 100 per cent action from start to finish, no delays, no fancy half-time entertainment, just choking smoke and screaming engines from some of the best drivers in the south-west and metropolitan area, for six hours straight.

CMG has been holding two of these events each year.

They gear the event to grass root drivers as well as seasoned amateurs.

All drifters competed in the four heats to determine the top 10.

CMG runs the event this way so that drivers get maximum track time for their money.

They prefer not to do knock out so that all competitors go home with the full competition experience.

Burnout drivers range from first timers in street cars to seasoned petrol heads in fully dedicated burnout cars.

Prize money and trophies are handed out from first position to 10th.

In the drift competition the winners were first Karl Nuske, second Carla Fry and third Craig Padfield.

In the burnout competition, first was Ryan Humphrey, second was Brad Patterson and third was Aaron Chilcott.
