Car cruise Burnout gone bad.

[68coronetGLwannabe]

I was a local Saturday cruise in last night and a Ford that was leaving decided to do a burnout. This guy was in his late 50's or so. This guy lights them up and looses it, starts going sideways locks up the brakes  slides about 100 ft across 3 lanes of traffic up over the curb into the landscaping. He finally comes to a stop right in front of everybody at the car show. He backs up limps the car away on a flat front tire and some smoke coming from under the car. I bet we wont see him for a while. last year a guy did the same thing in a Firebird.  Burnout are all fine a good but most cruise in disapprove and luckily no one got hurt (Just there pride) either time.

It is good no one was hurt.  I like doing burnouts as much as anyone but everytime one goes wrong in public like that it just becomes more fodder for the old car haters.

Exactly.. It also is the primary reason for car shows going bye-bye.. The organizers of the show get threatened with the need for a police detail and can't afford it.. So they shut the show down , all because one hero wanted to show off and couldn't handle the power he had.

Lucky no one was hurt.  Burnouts are just asking for trouble if not done in a controlled area . . .

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....Outlaw Low Performance DRIVER's, Not High Performance Cars....It's good he has to scrape up his pride into one big pile afterwards...Thank goodness he didn't take out any little kids...

There's one at every car show/cruise in...Some idiot in a car that has about half the power of most there, and just can't control his "urge" to "Smoke-'em"...Knowing that most of the cars there would hand him/her their ass...."Oh wow! Your car doesn't hook for sh*t..Now I'm really scared come race day!"

I ALWAYS leave the cruise nights/car shows in style....NO BURNOUTS! this is what gets 'em shut down people....I make it a point to physically laugh at these types when this type thing happens...That way, maybe they will LEARN how their car reacts to "Burnouts" before they try it in that E-Bay, "Buy it now" car they have driven about three times since the purchase...

I never do burnouts leaving shows.....I just think it's kind of tacky. Whenever I do a burnout with any of my cars anyways, it's always in a low traffic area (I usually go down to the shipping yards by the river).

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Yeah, enough with the burnouts at car shows and cruise-ins, it's not only irresponsible but it's been done to death!

[sixty8charger]

.. been done to death!

amen to that

What an idiot!  I have to admit I enjoyed the video clip, I laughed out loud.  But I'm so grateful I don't have idiot neighbors like him!

 A couple of a few Mos. back I went to the El Camino Cruise (Stu and I posted on it and you can do a search - if you care two   ) anyhow, there were all these really cool older cars, some pretty modified (read "RACE") with blown mountain motors and slicks - the whole nine yards. I think a few cars of the few hundred were less than, 35 Years old, typical drivein types mostly like you'd see in the early '70s or whatever. though cruising everyone was very well behaved, except these too or three assclowns in brand new Vettes, they were burning rubber in really unhealthy (read crowded) situations, They really put newer Vette owners in a bad light... Like they're...   cars weren't attracting enough attention or special enough so they had to try to impress folks by scaring them...
it was Pretty Sad.      Everyone was insulting them with disparaging remarks.

You've heard of a horsepower to weight ratio, right? They really need to post a horsepower to brains ratio on some of these cars and their drivers so you know which side of the concrete barrier to stand on when they leave.

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.

don't spin your wheels with the steering wheel turned

don't spin your wheels with the steering wheel turned 

its perfectly ok to do that you just have to be prepared to counter act it before it gets out of control, not after.  we used to do it all the time in empty parking lots, way before they called it drifting

[BigBlockSam]

i'm not talking about drifting. i'm talking about turning onto a highway and and burning rubber in the middle of your turn. odds are your car's gonna spin out .

[mauve66]

only if your not paying attention, turn the wheel and feather the throttle, works every time

[BigBlockSam]

only if your not paying attention, turn the wheel and feather the throttle, works every time

no kidding   

[Ghoste]

Or just don't do them in crowds.

We had a situation a few years ago when an older fellow leaving our gas station parking lot cruise night.
He pulled his newer Corvette out onto the main road and started to pound on it(rumor was he was racing someone) and lost control. He jumped the curb and hit/killed a lady walking with her husband. This all transpired within 2 blocks from where everyone was gathered.
