Vids coming soon. We got a normal angle like you see here, plus mounted a lipstick cam on the side mirror pointed at the rear tire on the passenger side. 8)

BTW - Those tires were about bald before I did that. After the event, I drove an hour and a half on them to get home. LOL

NICE! There was a burnout contest at Carlisle this year and a guy with a 94-95 blew his tire out and it took out his rear quarter panel... it wasn't pretty! Burnouts are so much fun!

Don't know, should be easier than 3rd in an AODE I would think?
2nd was a struggle for my stock engine. Unless I juiced it.

I know a line lock sure helped. Not fighting the rear brakes is GREAT!

I guess I should note, these were drag radials. I tried to roll out of the burnout in 3rd... once I hit the VHT of the start line the car caught, and bogged like a SOB. LOL The rear tires were basically black tar like roofing tar. Good times.

Definitely sounds like a good time burnouts are great... I wish their was a place around my way just to mess around... I'm tryin to convince my friends dad to buy an acre of land and pave it lol

Nittos get a lot more sticky when they are almost bald. Ive been ripping on the car the past few days and they grab really well.
