The burnout contest at LS Fest in Bowling Green has become an epic show that we just can’t get enough of, and this year did NOT disappoint. With a huge variety of cars and trucks, the most we’ve ever had sign up, including a full hydraulics-equipped Lowrider Impala that hopped and did burnouts at the same time. It was NUTS and we loved every second of it. Check it out.
(Photos by Wes Allison) Holley’s LS Fest events are now spread across the country, but the one that started it all is held in Bowling Green Kentucky and has been going on for 13 years. I’ve been the voice of this event since the beginning and have seen it grow from a small little gathering to one of the biggest and baddest events on the planet over that time. We’re talking about an event that celebrates all that is the LS engine, and does so by inviting anything and everything that has LS power to come out for the show, the drags, the autocross, the road course, the off-road track, the drifting, the dyno and of course the burnout contest. Yeah, there is a lot going on at this place. And it’s insanely rad.
Thankfully our intrepid photographer Wes Allison was on hand all weekend long shooting photos like a mad man and we’ve got gallery after gallery to share with you over the next week or so. We’ll have hundreds of photos to share, because nobody brings you more event photos than we do here at BANGshift.com.
I can tell you that there are a bunch in these galleries that would have made my short list of favorites. Why don’t you check out this first gallery and let us know which cars and trucks are your favorites and we’ll keep bringing you more all week.

Lowrider guy proved it *is* possible to make burnout events even more stupid.
Thanks for the photos and the effort it took to process and post them, but burnouts are a ridiculous waste of energy and resources that, from a competitive standpoint, prove nothing.
Just more stupid shit that passes for entertainment.
a lowrider hopping and doing a smoke fest, it dont get no better than that.
Is there some sort of genetic deformity that makes some people think that burnout contests are cool?
I think it’s purely a mental deformity.
