OCTANE BURNOUTS – QUEENSLAND RACEWAY!
Octane Burnouts is back — firing up once again at the QR Burnout Pad!
There are LIMITED SPOTS available for each event, so get in early to secure your entry!
🕒 Event Schedule
3:30 PM: Gates open for entrants and spectators
– Driver sign-on at the Hi-Octane Marquee on the Spectator Hill beside the burnout pad
4:45 PM: Drivers' briefing at the end of pit lane (all drivers must attend)
5:00 PM: Burnouts begin and run until 10:00 PM or 15 minutes after the last car has run — whichever comes first
🚫 No alcohol permitted.
All drivers are breath-tested prior to competing. If you blow over 0.00, you’ll be asked to return to the pits and try again later.
🏁 Entrant Information
Entry Fees
- Pre-Purchased Entry: $100
- On-the-Day Entry (if available): $130
Minimum Entrant Age: 14 years
Junior Development Class (NEW!)
We’re stoked to launch the Junior Development Class — giving 14- and 15-year-olds the chance to safely learn the ropes and experience the burnout scene firsthand!
How It Works:
- Ages 14 & 15 are eligible to enter.
- A parent must be present at the event from start to finish — no exceptions.
- The parent must sign the entrant in personally at driver sign-on.
- The junior must be listed as a dependent on the parent’s Medicare card.
- The junior must provide valid ID (school ID or birth certificate + parents' Medicare card). No proof of age, no skids.
- Only the parent can and must ride passenger — no mates, and no solo skids until age 16.
- The parent is responsible for the junior entrant’s behaviour at all times — including on the pad.
- All standard event rules apply.
💲 Junior Entry Fee: $110
Includes both the junior entry and the $10 passenger fee for the parent.
Both will receive wristbands at sign-on to confirm the parent is riding in the car when it’s time to hit the pad.
⚠️ Note: The parent must still purchase a spectator entry ticket (online or at the gate) in addition to the junior entry.
Licensing Requirements
All entrants must hold an AASA “General Speed” Licence (annual or day).
- Purchase a Day Licence while completing your entry, or
- Buy an Annual Licence at aasa.com.au
Bring your AASA licence (digital or physical) to sign-on at the Hi-Octane Marquee near the top of the burnout pad viewing area.

Other Notes

🚗 Vehicle Requirements
NEW RULES - READ CAREFULLY
1. Tow points – COMPULSORY
All vehicles must have a front tow strap or tow point securely bolted and easily accessible. No strap = no skid.
2. No Guaranteed Number of Burnouts
How many burnouts each entrant gets depends on recoveries and pad conditions. Our staff will always work to get everyone through as many runs as possible within the time limit. Work with us, help make our job easier and it means more pad time for you.
3. No Panel-Damaged Cars
Vehicles showing accident damage will not be permitted — safety and insurance requirements.
4. Windscreens Must Be Crack-Free
Stone chips are fine, but any cracks = no skid until repaired.
5. Tyre Clearance
Your car must roll freely with tyres popped. If you get hung up after your first skid and spares are the same size, that’s your night done.
6. Pit Conduct & Red Light Rule
No limiter bashing, no stupidity, and no ignoring marshals once you are back in the pits.
Breaching this earns an instant 6-month ban from QR, Hi-Octane, and AASA events.
7. Carport Fee – $20
Covers cleaning and consumables. Cars without a paid carport sticker must vacate.
Leave your space clean — or lose future booking privileges.

- No major body damage
-Front bumpers must remain fitted (rear may be removed for burnout)

- No fuel or coolant lines inside cabin
- Wagons with fuel cells must have a firewall separating cargo and cabin
- Bonnet must remain fitted except when travelling to/from the pad
- Blower restraints mandatory for any blower protruding through bonnet
- All skid tyres must have wheel weights removed, Any wheel weights found will have you sent back to the pits to remove and you'll have to line up at the back of the line again
- All wheels must have ALL wheel nuts secured. No missing wheel nuts on any wheels.
