2016 VALVOLINE STREET MACHINE OF THE YEAR
THERE’S been plenty of election talk this year, but there’s only one ballot that matters: the Valvoline Street Machine Of The Year. You know the premise: Vote for your favourite street machine of the past 12 months, we’ll tally the votes, and the owner of the car with the most votes takes home the trophy and $20,000. That’s SMOTY in a nutshell – no broken promises, no kissing babies.
HOW IT WORKS
THE 16 finalists are decided by a vote of Street Machine staff and contributors. To be eligible, cars must be primarily Australian-built and featured in one of the past 12 issues of Street Machine. The outright winner is up to you!
YOU CAN WIN TOO
JUST by voting, you in the draw to win the ultimate Summernats experience valued at over $5,000! You and a mate could be off to Canberra on us, with flights from any Australian capital, three nights in a top hotel, $1000 spending money, two Gold Passes to Summernats 30 and a pair of VIP passes to the exclusive Street Machine party!
HOW TO VOTE
CLICK on each car to check it out and watch the video! Then make your choice, fill out the form and you’re away.
Australian residents can also vote by SMS. SMS the CODE WORD that appears on the car of your choice in the September and October editions of SM, plus your full name, address and daytime phone number to 1999 0001 (max cost 55c including GST). You can only vote once per voting method – repeat votes will not count. Voting opens 11 August 2016 at 12:01am (AEST) and closes 1 October 2016 at 23:59 (AEDT).
