Next up is riegning champion of the 6 cylinder calss from the 2019 Sugar City Burnouts and it's Nick Payne in the XG Falcon Ute aptly called "FERAL UTE". Nick sure knows how to skid a 6 banga and I know the scores will be close at the end of 3 days of competition with accumulated points deciding the winner. The burnout pad at Palmyra Dragway will be the place to be every night over the 18th-20th of September with all the tyre frying action you could dream of. Big field of cars already with plenty more to come
Our next entrant is no stranger to burnouts and is always a contender in the 6 cylinder class at every comp he attends. Last year he placed third in one of the toughest fields of 6 cylinder skid cars I've ever seen so you know he's going to give it a red hot crack. I'd like to introduce to you Stephen Maeseele in AGROV6 from Townsville who will be chasing a piece of the $1600 in prizemoney that's up for grabs in that bracket at The Insane Performance Sugar City Powerfest on the 18th - 20th of September. Bring it on.......

Ferruccio Lamborghini was born on April 28th, 1916.
After World War II, Lamborghini founded a business making farm tractors from reconfigured surplus military machines, near Bologna, Italy.
He later expanded into other ventures, including manufacturing air-conditioning and heating systems.
He had bought an expensive Ferrari, but was unhappy with some of the mechanical workings of the car.
After several frustrating trips to the Ferrari factory things came to a head.
Ferrari told Lamborghini that there was nothing wrong with the car and that he was actually the problem.
Lamborghini had been insulted, and he decided that he could build a better car than Ferrari, so he founded the Lamborghini car company.
Lamborghini used top end designers some of whom had worked for Ferrari at one time.
From the first model that Lamborghini produced, his cars have been considered one of the best high end sports cars in the world.
The company's first model, launched in 1963, was the Lamborghini 350 GTV, a two-seater coupe with a V12 engine.
Ferruccio Lamborghini died on February 20, 1993, at the age of 76.
