Drag Racing Champion and professional stunt driver Brett ‘The Boss’ Stevens has put out the challenge to all comers, both professional and amateur, to take him on in a winner takes all Burnout Competition to help celebrate the 21^st birthday of one of countries largest motoring events the Canberra Summernats from January 3-6, 2008.

Stevens, who is Australia’s most high profile professional Drag Racer, and Summernats organiser Chic Henry have got together to organise the Burnout Gladiator Face-Off to help mark the significant milestone of the event.

“I was talking to Chic (Henry) and we really wanted to make the 21^st Birthday of the Summernats the biggest and best ever, something the fans will always remember,” Stevens said.

“So I thought ‘why not put out the challenge for a head to head Burnout competition with me where anyone can enter?’”

“The Summernats is the ideal place for people with an itch to burn rubber to do so as much as they like in a legal, controlled environment with proper safely measures in place.”

“And now they will have the opportunity to show the world what they have by going head to head against me in my Jack Daniel’s Racing Burnout Ute.”

Promoter Chic Henry is equally as excited about the prospect of having two of the countries leading proponents of exhibition burnout driving going at it in a winner takes all competition.

“This is going to be great! We all know what Brett (Stevens) is capable of but now someone is going to have the chance at really taking it up to him,” Henry said.

“It is open to anyone and everyone, all you have to do is send me your ‘Burnout CV’ listing your credentials and why you think you deserve this chance and I will be choosing who I believe to be the most worthy opponent.”

“And if the honour and bragging rights for a year of beating Brett isn’t enough, I will also personally be putting up $2500 to ensure we entice out the best.”

“The selected challenger will automatically receive $1000 plus weekend accommodation for two at the Summernats, and on top of this there will be the winner takes all prize of an additional $1500!”

Stevens is one of Australia’s leading Drag Racers and is the only person in the world to compete in three professional Group 1 Drag Racing brackets simultaneously (Top Doorslammer, Top Bike and Top Alcohol). Some of his recent Drag Racing accomplishments include winning the 2004 Australian Top Doorslammer and the 2005 Australian Top Bike Championships, member of the Australian Motorcycle Hall of Fame, holder of the quickest Australian Harley record with quarter mile run of 6.4 seconds, as well as various other records and titles.

Held annually in the first weekend in January at Exhibition Park In Canberra (EPIC), the Summernats is Australia’s biggest celebration of all things horsepower with over 100,000 spectators coming through the gates to see thousands of cars cruise the kilometres of roadways, legally stretch performance to the maximum in the outrageous Burnout and Go-Whoa competitions on the world’s first and only purpose-built burnout facility and be tortured on the Chassis Dyno, as well as admire the Top 60 Show, Car Audio Sound Off, and Miss Summernats in a high spirited, automotive, New Year atmosphere.
