Australian Burnout Failure: Valiant Effort, Indeed


Australian Burnout Failure: Valiant Effort, Indeed

Australian burnout rules are simple: High revs, lots of smoke, and don’t let up until you or your car is done. Unfortunately for Mike Roycroft, the owner of this Valiant, the car decided it had enough first. After the car comes out of the first turn-in there is steam coming from the radiator, indicating that the car is already white-hot, and it only takes a few seconds more for the engine to commit seppuku on the skidpad. One piston found freedom, along with other bits and chunks, but notice the shavings on the left side of the puddle…that piston went out fighting.

Engine carnage…all in the name of entertainment in Australia!
