The rural township of Murray Bridge in South Australia will again be transformed into a car lover’s paradise when the 2^nd annual Murray Bridge Autofest roars into action on the Australia Day long weekend (January 26-28).

Headlining the octane fuelled event is Australian Drag Racing champ Brett ‘The Boss’ Stevens from the Jack Daniel’s Racing team, who will be firing up the crowds with a smoking driving display on the burnout pad in his infamous 2,500 horsepower Burnout Ute.

“Last year when I came down to Murray Bridge for the Autofest I received a great reception from the local motoring fans and I am really happy to back again in 2008,” Stevens said.

“Everyone really seems to get behind the event to make it a success with a variety of great activities and displays for both the crowds and entrants; it is something South Australia can be really proud of.”

“I will be focusing on the burnout pad again though where I am planning on going through a few sets of slicks and a coupe of hundred litres of methanol giving people a show they won’t be forgetting in a hurry.”

“There will be plenty of burning rubber, noise, smoke and most importantly everyone will be having a good time.”

As well as heating up the action on the burnout pad, Stevens will also have his 3000 horsepower Jack Daniel’s Racing and SP Racing Ford Falcon Top Doorslammer race cars on display for fans.

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.

The Murray Bridge Autofest is one of the largest automotive driving shows in South Australia and will feature a variety of motoring entertainment including burnouts, motorkhana, go-to-whoa, show and shine, dyno competition plus lots more.
