and an ugly car too... I mean what was that all about anyway? Looked liked a meat head doing something the track guys didn't want him to do. I'm guessing it was a burn-out contest because of the skinny tires and all that water and all the rubber on the track.

All the burn out comps I've seen have been part of a drag race and no one takes it anywhere close to that level! Thanks for putting that up. Was just kidding about the drifting

I get that but al of the ones I've seen require you to stay straight. It seemed like they were PO'd at the guy before he even started???

description of the video said that he was already disqualified from the event during his "qualifying burnout" because he disobeyed a firemarshall's instruction. and then he forced his way out onto the track where the officials tried to stop him, but he went anyway.
the burnout was impressive, but yea, every one I've seen requires you to stay straight. last thing they want is a car shooting back up the track into the people working at the start line, or into the tower, etc.
the guy acted like a total fool in my opinion. it would have been one thing if he went out, did his show, waived to the crowd, and then "man'd up" and calmly went with track officials, instead of jumping and fighting like an immature 13 year old.

I guess I don't understand how he even got back to the staging lanes. Around here you'd be escorted off the property. Did the car not have an on-off swtich on the back? Guessing that's the last time he did a burn out at that track.

And you see why we don't have these in the states. All you can do is a standing still burnout. BORING!!! And then people will complain that nhra makes to many rules, and say the burn out car doesn't have enought safty equipment on it, go figure. If you think you we be hurt run away, why do we need tons more rules.
