J-REY & JUMP BUGGIES AT RCN

THINGS are going full steam ahead for both the Red Centrenats in Alice Springs (1-3 September) and Street Machine Summernats 31 in Canberra (4-7 January 2018). RCN has none other than Oz rock legend James Reyne headlining, and will now feature a much-expanded course for the off-road buggies that will see them racing heads-up and geting some massive air! There are already over 500 cars entered, so it looks like last year’s figures of 724 cars will be smashed. Likewise, Summernats is seeing record entrant levels, with 1428 punters already laying down their cash to be a part of Australia’s biggest horsepower show. Last year, we had 2534 cars come to play – ’Nats 31 looks like being even bigger! And in other ’Nats news, Jason Bean’s Burnout Allstars show (Queensland Raceway, 14 October) is now officially a Burnout Masters feeder event.
