Donuts in the snow

[Aarons Air]

I guess with todays cars being mostly front wheel drive, gutless marvels, and younger people having no experience with it, no one does donuts in the snow anymore. As a teen one of my favorite things to do in winter was to find a big flat empty parking lot & let 'er rip ! Seemed like rear wheel drive v8's with a fat set of 60's on the back worked perfect ! Lol

My friend got a new 68 vet for graduation, We went to local local school parking lots and did snow donuts.
Remember it like it was last week.

I still do them with my truck in 2wd mode! It's good practice to learn how to correct going into a side skid. Had my son practice it too!

Smart thinking !

Don't know if the 2wd truck has suregrip, but isn't that real hard on an open differential? Just curious.

It might be, but I always did it every chance I got! I preferred doing them with a sure grip, better control !?! LOL

Use to do donuts with my kids in the car (big empty parking lot) just to hear them scream.

I routinely do donuts. Usually chocolate frosted.

Kids reactions reminds me of mine in the car and hitting a small hill at just the right speed and we all would lose our stomachs! Had to turn around and do it multiple times!

My oldman was a pro at leaving your stomach in a bad state.

A frozen lake is the most fun
better than any parking lot I have used

What's snow? If you wanna do donuts, gravel parking lot.

I would like to do that one day before I die. One very big lake and just slide.

We have races on Ice
You need to check ice before driving on it
and a way to get back off after

No doubt about that! Remember the show "Ice Road Truckers"; They lose a few every year!

I watched one of the shows and it makes truckers look stupid
going up a hill and all they put on is a single set of single chains
instead for two sets of triples
and yes up north they loose a few trucks
