BURNOUTS, donuts and general showing off? Proper procedure??

And I'm the #1 person of the third variant......those that don't give a ****......rubber tire smoke is like glyphosat, agent orange, DDT, and Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) and other known carcinogens.......problems don't develop until later in life......until it's too late .......but, if you don't care, then I don't care (about you) as well......

Slow down friend, I go back to the muscle car era, my innocent days before Vietnam. I served in a high Agent Orange spray area, in 2023, three of us Vietnam vets who served in AO spray areas were diagnosed with aggressive mouth cancer during a 6-week time period, one of us did not survive. Of my Vietnam vet friends, only one is left, a medic, he and I were diagnosed with mouth cancer w/i two weeks of each other, most of his tongue was surgically removed to stop the spread of cancer. My cancer surgery involved the removal of all my upper right and two front teeth, connecting bone and palate, combined with resulting nerve damage. I can no longer use a straw, whistle for my dogs nor bite into a cheeseburger, the prosthetic is removed and cleaned daily. AO and breathing tire smoke aren't even close in their health severity...
 
Sorry to hear that, my brother had a similar surgery for cancer in his sinuses. I often wonder if I would be able to go thru that ordeal, it seems like one of the worst places to get cut up on, even compared to prostate cancer.
 
Live clean, do nothing wrong and you’ll die anyway. In your last years, you’ll have no fond memories of the fun that you could have had from the things you were told not to do.
What a sad life that would be.
I’m like a lot of you guys…aging, a bit overweight but I don’t smoke or use drugs. I enjoy beef, women and getting dirty working on my cars. A few burnouts now and then get my blood moving and makes me smile. I’m not hurting anyone, not even myself.

Let's go over this one last time. Start in first, go to second, go to third, if it will pull in 3rd.
That's safe and fine. It's just doing a burnout in D that's not as safe.
Chuck a small vice grip on the rear line for home made line lock
or one of those plastic brake line clamps....that look like a pair of scissors.

...or let me drive it. :rofl:
 
Something is wrong if it won't spin the tires with 3.55's but never mind that for this deal. Wet the pavement and you'll be fine, upshift as said above
I'm running 3.23:1 gears and I can fry the :carrot: out of my hides. :rofl:

 
You could always ignore the warnings on the bottle, and spray ArmorAll on the treads. It's slippery stuff.
If you want awesome smoke, a small amount of diesel on the tyres works wonders.....and it wipes off the paint work with a rag. :lol:

Yep had the washer bottle in the trunk on the power trunk switch back on the day... after much testing diesel came out as the clear winner

When I was younger, I hadn't thought of the washer bottle idea, so I improvised with a 5-gallon bucket. :rofl:

Melted a new asphalt road in a new industrial sub-division so bad that we had to jack the car up to pull the tyre off the molten surface. Great times. The Polyglas cords were like gooey spaghetti clinging to the sizzling asphalt.


(True story .... the guy who bought @cr8crshr 's car last year was there that night) :)
 
That has to feel really different from where the seats are mounted in those trucks/vans!
The truck is so aggressive it wants to slide all over the place.....lots of fun. :steering:

The power is one thing but what stands out for me is that the occupants sit at right about centerline from where the vehicle steers. You're at the pivot point, not well behind it like you are when in a regular truck or a car.
I remember the VW bus was similar but they never had enough power to get the same weird feeling as you'd get in the A-100!
 
Proper rolling burnout procedure requires line lock or stay home because some one will get hurt. Water is not needed but practice is...the car needs to be very predictable if you are going to do a proper rolling fueler style burnout. Any other burnout is child's play. Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 
Me after one rolling burnout and smelling rubber.

doing a burnout with the TKO has been fun, get the rpms up and release the clutch

wow this vid is a few years old … need to make a new one

Sorry this is so long. Don’t try to watch the whole thing.
 
I have nothing but the utmost respect for our Mr. Bob Renton and his expertise and knowledge. But me... I think back to the Stone Age when I was in college. And I ask myself, what was more fun ? Studying for that degree hanging on the wall... or doing burnouts for those two long, black marks left on the pavement ?
