Within the k-walled arena, you are able to do donuts, figure 8s, or opt for the crowd favorite with your front bumper up "On the Wall", as they like to chant! Enter for a chance to win $500 and other prizes (to be determined) in front of a huge crowd to prove that you have the best cloud-making machine on the East Coast.

frequently asked questions

  • Basically, all you need is a safe rear wheel drive car.

  • Participants must be at least 18 years old (16 with parental consent) and possess a valid driver's license.

  • Dress for this activity is a sleeved shirt (short sleeves are ok, just no tank tops), long pants, and closed toed shoes (no Crocs or slip-ons). Because this event takes place in May, we understand it may be warm during the day at the event. You are welcome to bring a change of clothes and change before and after your session if you prefer. 

  • Yes, you must have a SNELL SA2010 or newer helmet to participate in the burnout contest. If you do not have a helmet, loaner helmets will be available for you to use.

  • The technical inspection goes over various aspects of the vehicle to ensure it will be safe for you and everyone else on the track. As a general rule, an "unmodified" factory vehicle will pass tech without any problems, but cars that have been modified (seats, roll bars, belts, etc...) must conform to the preparation rules. Your vehicle must also be free from loose items; such as floor mats, beverage bottles, loose change, etc... If you'd like to inspect your own car ahead of time to ensure you won't have any issues at the track, you may use this checklist as a preliminary guide. 

  • It depends. As long as you are safe and in control of the vehicle, we will give you a few attempts to try and do a burnout. If you are out of control and reckless, that's it, you're done. No if's, and's, or but's. Also, if we give you a few attempts and you still can't do a burnout, don't be surprised if the crowd chants for you to put the nose of your vehicle "On the Wall" or heckles you. It's nothing personal, they just love tire smoke, and it’s all just part of the fun.

  • No, only one vehicle at a time is allowed in the burnout box (unless you break and we have to tow you out).

  • Body damage to cars very rarely occurs, however if you choose to spin around inside the box, there is the chance you may make contact with one (or more) of the k-walls. Also, if you place the front of your car against the wall, there is the chance you may scratch your bumper and or do additional damage.
