I will never forget his burnout at the Summernats in 87-88. The 57 he was in had 1000hp back then and he did nothing fancy, he lit them and smoked them hard in a straight line for 100m! Best burnout on the day for my money.
I saw this the other day on some other channel. Interesting, takes me back to when I was bright eyed and bushie tailed! Fuck me, what a handsome bloke Vic was! LOL, that's a real ladies man right there ;) That head of his, oh man... Haha
The 'burnout' is not purely wanton entertainment for Hoon's, it's necessary to get the rear tyres heated/sticky for traction/ Tug at the race launch a fact seemingly lost in this report. Love how these reporters don't even 'Report' the facts and simply want to drive a stereotype perpetuating ignorance. Victory said there is 'method in the madness ' but didn't state the main reason for burnout and started waffling on about track temperature. I saw another reporter who actually got to spend a day and take a run as a passenger in one of these cars. She then started off her piece to air by saying 'This is a Top Doorstopper' and I'm about to go for a ride'.
Big bad John Peterson is the king of burnouts

Never knew he put XT Falcon buckets in that original 57
Who is this reporter? It sounds like Peter Minack from TISM
Guys blood pressure was that high he looked like a tomato himself 😏
Struggling Australian did it . Legendary.
Victor is not a patch on Steven Josiah from SM Motorsports, Steves Hillclimb 202 turbo carby 4 door LJ Torana would destroy Vic's 57.
