ohh crap, that might be a show winner!!, i dont have a tow hitch or anything good to tie too though.

Without a doubt a show winner !!!! If you don't have anything to tie off to in the rear, hook up to the front tow hooks and do a 4hi burnout in reverse, it is typically a steeper ratio than first gear anyways !!!

OMG 4 wheel burnout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the guy that washes his windows or whatever can kiss your ***.
you would sooooo win that
MUST HAVE VIDEO!!!

Use this for an easy clean up for all that rubber. Check It Out

Burn-Out Guard


Water burnouts create good traction - but look at that tire rubber splattered across your race car's quarter panel! What a job. Tired of difficult and time consuming cleanup after the race? Now, before your next race, spray Geddex™ Burnout Guard™ on the body sections you used to scrub. Geddex™ dries clear and won't harm paint. It becomes a water-soluble layer of protection between hot splaters of tire rubber and the nice clean quarter panels of your car. When you're ready, just rinse down the splattered area with water and wipe away the rubber. Spray on Geddex™ Burnout Guard™ again, and you're protected for another day at the drag strip!

150-GE-321 Geddex Burn-Out Guard, 13.5 oz bottle $8.99

I agree, I think a 4WD burnout would clinch it, who cares if the guy does backflips outside of his car.

But I guess this means you would need spare tires from two more people...

yeah, geting 2 more tires might be tricky AND i am not sure how much of that kind of abuse the front can take. i think i will stick with the 2wd smoke show,

No help with the actual burnout part... I just want to suggest that you don't blip the throttle during it. I've seen a lot of motors pop like that.

(Our local 3-4 night burnout contest is coming up July 4th weekend...)

Why not do a front wheel burnout, just remove the drivesaft from the trans to the rear diff if thats possible without leaking fluid, well now that I think about it I don't think it is, good thought though. What about puttin a window switch on, engage the switch and set it to 5k or so. What about using cheap *** slicks, bias slicks that way it will scar your bed less if it does blow. Also you should use wd40 as a cheap protector to get all the rubber off of the fenders when your done. Alot of circle track users use it.

i tried the bleach last night and it didn't do crap! i think i will just do it dry. after seeing that stang make 3times more smoke than me i have decided to just enter the contest for fun and not really go all out. i dont think i have a chance of winning. truck gets warm too fast. abusing the front diferential probably isn't a good idea, i see it as my current weak link.

should be some good fun if nothing else.
