Smoke Show
Get ready for the wildest competition at Mustang Week this year
By Steve Turner
On Wednesday the Mustang Week activities roll into Myrtle Beach Speedway, where participants are able to check out vendors, run the autocross course and make fun runs around the speedway oval. However, before the day is over one brave driver will be crowned winner of the Annual SVTPerformance Burnout Contest!
Every year this contest gets bigger and wilder and 2016 marks our ninth year hosting this display of rear-tire destruction. The event is judged by popular opinion. The louder the crowd represents for a particular driver, the better chance that entrant has to win the event. Of course, getting the crowd behind you usually requires some pretty wild antics as you can see from last year’s event…

So you might have to take your tires down to the cords to win, like last year’s champion, but you’ll have a blast doing it. The contest is open to all Ford vehicles and all participants will receive a gift bag. Winners will receive a fabulous prize and bragging rights until next year’s event.
Here are the details you need to know:

Don’t miss the wildest thing you’ll see all week at Mustang Week—if you don’t believe us check out the coverage from last year’s event here—and remember, if you want to do legal burnouts in Myrtle Beach, this is the place to do it.
The SVTPerformance.com Burnout Contest is open to all Fords, so you will see everything from the latest Mustangs to trucks slaying tires at Myrtle Beach Speedway this year.
If you want to emerge triumphant, come prepared like last year’s winner, Thomas Jarrell. He bolted on a spare set of wheels and tires because he knew he was going to burn them till they popped. Then he jacked up his Lightning, installed his street wheels and drove off with his prize.
If billowing clouds of tire smoke, wild displays of drifting and the spirit of competition are your thing, don’t miss the 9th Annual SVTPerformance.com Burnout Contest at Mustang Week 2016.
