It was a smoking hot weekend at SpringNats.
Gearheads braved the heat on Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23 and raced to Shepparton Showgrounds to get a good view of the show and shine, burnouts and drifts.
Saturday had a street parade through Shepparton, where prized vehicles were driven along Fryers St, while later in the afternoon the showgrounds became packed with people vying to catch a glimpse through the smoke of the burnouts.
While the event was scheduled to run across three days, the events on Sunday had to be cancelled due to the weather.
News photographer Megan Fisher headed down on Saturday night in time to capture the burnouts and family fun.
