🏁💨 BORN TO BURN: While most teenagers are still learning to drive, ’s Laine Smallmon is already beating some of the best burnout drivers in ! 👊
The 17-year-old stunned a field of more than 100 competitors at last weekend’s Gazzanats in Darwin to win the Naturally Aspirated class and earn a coveted wildcard to Summernats 2027, putting him one step closer to lining up alongside the country’s elite.
It was an unforgettable weekend for the Smallmon family, with father Chris also claiming second place in the fiercely contested Blown class against some of the sport’s biggest names.
After a 7,500-kilometre round trip across the country, the pair returned home with two authentic crocodile head trophies, two podium finishes & one incredible story!
Congratulations, guys! 👏🔥
