Tyres heat-up tarmac in Lawrence burnouts

A spectacle of noise, smoke and skill drew a three-day car event to a close yesterday.

The Lawrence Car Club Rev, Rock & Hop combined traditional cruise and car show elements with full-bore burn-outs during the weekend, delighting several hundred attendees from across the South.

Burn-out competition organiser Darcy Win said wet weather on Saturday had made for a condensed schedule yesterday, but for an enthusiastic crowd and about 20 competitors that only meant double the fun.
