Burnouts

[Lilmissticklishfeet]

A burnout (also called a peel out or brake burn by some) occurs when the driver of a vehicle (such as a car, motorbike, or truck) spins the vehicle's drive wheels until a trail of white smoke is generated.

I just wanna know your opinion on these contests. My college campus actually ALLOWED people to have a burnout contest.

Seems like a waste of tires

Spin the tire in bleach and you'll get a HELL of a cloud of smoke. LOVE burning rubber!

The only thing I don't like about burnouts is the smell of burnt rubber. Other than that, I have no problems.

I also specialize in skidmarks.

Smoke can also be generated by brutal braking, loss of grip + acceleration etc etc ... funny to watch on track ( F1 ) or karting which generates more smoke than you can imagine. But on streets it's useless in my opinion. Unless you have much money and can change your tyres once a month. Or if it's not your car

I don't mind them when it comes to professional racing or when a police car is chasing a felon. But when it's just a couple of guys trying to prove who has the bigger dick, then yeah, it's pretty irritating.

Thank you, drew70. I almost forgot about the whole 'who's got the bigger dick' scenario. Yet another reason why burnouts are just plain wrong.

I prefer more of a "spin out" But only when women do it Especially when it's in mud or snow
