Car cruise Burnout gone bad.

[oldcarnut]

Some of the shows here ask and warn the participants not to do a burnout.  Many times there are the cops waiting half a block down ready to give a fat ticket.   Cost one guy 6 pts and $900 .  Most got the hint after that but there are always some that take the chance.  It's one of the reasons many of the places here require clubs to out up a million $$ insurance policy to have a show in their parking lot.

Last year, at one of the biggest shows in New England (2000+ cars every two weeks) we were sitting, like hundreds of others, watching people leave.. It seems that each person has to out-do the last.. one guy got into it pretty hard, nailed the curb, blew out his tire and ended up off the road on his roof... 

I heard, later on, that he had just finished a 5-year resto and that was the first show he had gone to.... 

I've gotten shit from people because I leave shows so quietly. People tell me to "spin'em up!" I do nothing but laugh.. Yeah, I built it to impress YOU so I could get a ticket.. Sure thing!!

I love watching burnouts and doing them.  The biggest rule is this:  If you're going to do one, make sure you know what the hell you are doing.  There is NOTHING like the feeling of the tires breaking loose and the ass end creeping a bit sideways as the tach climbs...NOTHING!!!! 

I guess it's like anything else, if you do it enough you get pretty good at it and the car won't surprise you.  I definitely would not do a smoke show in an unfamiliar vehicle with a huge crowd around.  Get the lay of the land in a parking lot or something first.

had a idiot last summer whogot drunk at a car show and jumped in his hemi cuda and started doing a burn off in a crowd of nice cars and lot of people and a couple of cops. the sad part was watching that cuda leave on a roll back.   he went to jail the car went to impound and we all thank the cops . jerks like that give motor heads  a bad name.

Around here it's assumed that the burn-out guys can't tune the motor, can't slow idle, so they gots to get away fast before they stall.

Here's another example of an asshole leaving a car show.

...and the biggest DUMBASS of them all....

I've left a few of those Cars and Coffee gatherings.  Really doesn't help to have people lining the sides of the road shaking their fists and yelling at people to "Light 'em up!"  I'd never do it...I think it's pretty classless...but there are always those toolbags that want to show off, and of course the "hat on backwards" crowd is right there to give them an audience. 

When mongoloids like that tell me to do a burnout I tell them to go to hell. Buy me two brand new BFG 275/60/15 and I'll consider it.

And this means that these idiot are ruining it for the rest of us. One day car shows will be outlawed thanks to these inbreads.

that first one was waaaaaaayyyyy funny, it kills me that they can't "feel" the car starting to move on them, he lost it in the first 50 ft, and then their just too stupid to lift, counter steer, brake, ANYTHING to control it.  thats why i sent my kid to a drivers edge class so he would know ahead of time what it felt like to loose control of a car

Best thing a parent can do for their kids.. 

my folks did the same to me, asap!

99% of people on the road today (that is roughly 176,745,266 of 196,165,666 licensed U.S. drivers! 19,420,400.. i think are getting too much credit... in my simple calculation here.  http://www.statemaster.com/graph/trn_lic_dri_tot_num-transportation-licensed-drivers-total-number)  don't have a clue how to control their vehicles!!!!.. 
they just take their vehicles for granted. Talk on the phones and listen to music at a volume the human ear shouldn't be exposed to and drive like an ass hole.. even though they are "operating" at a minimum a 2 ton wrecking ball on wheels towards all other human beings.

ok i'm done.

Ya,and when I was teaching my oldest son how to drive people would tell me I was crazy for taking him to an empty parking lot(in winter) and let him slide around. Yes its fun,but it also teaches them how to control a car in a slide.Like we have all said to meany drives can handle the car they drive.

Since all we've had all the snow in the Midwest I've taken the oppurtunity to intenially get my rear end loose in my truck just so I can have a little practice correcting. Plus it's fun, but I do it in a respronsible manner in empty parking lots with nothing near me to hit.

That's how I did it, that's how I taught the kids to do it. People here in S. Florida are far less adept at burnouts and far more prone to rear-ending others. They are always caught by surprise when the roads are slick.
