The purpose of the burnout is to heat the tires up. Drag slicks really didn't hit the scene until the 60's. So, I would say somewhere around then. They used to, in the 70's, put bleech down, back the rear tires into it, then light it on fire, and do the burn out in it. That was before line locs. Anyway, those fire burn outs were awesome to watch.

When did drag racing come to Australia?

I cannot say for sure, however, I remember a car magazine, maybe Carcraft, doing an article on the Australian cars, and their owners, back in the late 70's, or early 80's. As I recall, there were a handful of guys that were trying to open a track. The Australian National Drag Racing Association, or ANDRA for short, is the primary drag racing sanctioning body in Australia. The organisation was created in 1973 for the more drag oriented members of the Australian Hot Rod Federation. Australian Drag racing speed records are listed from 1966 on.
