And speaking of burnouts... Hey Geno, I gotta hand it to you, that burnout video at the Carlisle ice cream stand or whatever is FREAKIN AWESOME! Wish I was there to witness it. And hopefully I'll make it to Carlisle next summer.

That's this one.

It would have been longer but there were families and what not crossing over from the parking are to the Ice Cream Parlor portion and they were all running and stuff! LOL!
 
Powerbraking a burnout depends a lot on the tire IMHO. I don't HAVE to use the brakes on mine, even with the Michelin Pilots I have that have extraordinarily good traction, but if I want to give a smoke show I do use the brakes. Even then, the Michelins don't give up a lot of smoke.

I had a set of hard Continental brand tires I picked up with the chrome 10 spokes. I could smoke them at will any time I wanted, and that was before the 4.10s and exhaust! :steering:

Hey driller, you have any form of posi?

I also hate when people try to tell me that burnouts really wear down the tire, like they're trying to discourage me from doin one. I mean, yeah it does.... but not like everyone thinks it does. Well, unless you sit there and hold it for like 20-30 seconds like I do sometimes LOL. But every once in a while, my check engine light comes on right after I do it and most of the time it's a peg leg burnout (one wheel). And BOY, as soon as I get some kind of video camera that I can hook up to the comp, I'll be filming burnouts all the time. And I'll try to get some sort of sound clip of the exhaust, the car goes in on Tuesday for it. :headbang:


P.S. I think this one is a little better view of that burnout...

Yeah that is better. I dont know who took that one? Its cool seeing the exhaustd make the smoke shoot straight back, then you can really hear it when I SLAM the throttle to 7500k!! Those SAME tires are still on the back of that car today, so yes it is BS that burnouts KILL a tire, it just hurts them a little LOL!
