Northern Nats to roar into life
BURNOUTS, drags, show and shine, power skids, roll racing and good old-fashioned cruising will all be on show this weekend when the Northern Nats roar into life at Springmount Raceway near Mareeba.
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Northern Nats is offering nearly $60,000 in cold hard cash this year, giving drivers the chance to make their mark at the wildest horsepower festival.
This is the biggest drag racing prize money the event has ever offered, alongside a massive boost to all three burnout winnings, with the total prize pool for $34,500.
Northern Nats is now combined with Tropical Meltdown, ensuring that spectators will enjoy four days of burnouts, drag racing, roll racing, cruising, powerskids, show ‘n’ shine, live music and camping.
Tropical Meltdown headlines as the premier burnout battle, attracting Australia’s best to compete for big prize money, plus two Pro Burnout Series qualifying tickets and two wildcard spots.
Competitors from right across Queensland will unite for the State’s loudest and quickest horsepower event from 23-26 July.
Regular and all new competitors right across all classes will be keen to show off their collective of horsepower and skills as they hit the tarmac strip in their bid to achieve personal best times.
Spectators have a wide range of options for camping on site and ticketing, all available online or at the gate. Go to https://northernnats.com.au/ for more information.
