Mine lead right from inside the garage all the way down the driveway...GF hates when I do that, and the neighbors all look at me funny.

Nice! Our driveway is bad too. Husband and I are both guilty.

I highly discourage doing burnouts or hole shots in my driveway. the gravel gets thrown all over the truck and out into the yard where I hit it with the lawn mower.


now...on the road is a different story. neighbor has called the Police on me before.

If you are rural, then more power to you.

Since I have lived where I live for 27 years and am getting wiser I don't do them anymore at home. I get way more positive support from my neighbors and they know the car can do it.

I did one on the street in front of my house about 20 years ago while 2 of my neighbors watched and egged me on. So I do and when I got home the other neighbor from the other side of the street came over and ripped me a new butt hole. Said his daugters were out in the yard and I could have killed someone!!

His yard is up a hill and I would have to be going pretty fast to make it up into his yard. He moved about 15 years ago and I have out lived 3 other neighbors now. lol

So anyway after that ordeal I rethinked it and haven't done another one since. Now barking the tires into 2nd happens all the time.

Plus I have seen some of my neighbors at the drag races watching me race, so I feel that responsible actions on my part is best around where I live.

Now I do own some parking lot's where I can have at it, but it's not really that much fun after having 2800 hp under my foot in my dragster.

I'm at the end of a dead end street. Lots are all 3-6 acres in size, so there's no sidewalks and lots of space. Next to me and at the end of the street is a cow pasture and a bean field. Directly across the street is an undeveloped lot full of weeds.

Nobody else on the street had a problem with my antics, and even come down to check out the cars when I have car-buddies over. It's just the "angry old man" (who's only in his early 50s) that pretty much doesn't get along with anybody else on the road. He hates kids, dogs, motorcycles and cars. He even gets mad at the snow plow guy for how he clears off the circle at the end of the street.

here, at the 2:55 mark you can see a good 360° view of the "neighborhood" noting the big wide circle at the end of the road, cow pasture/bean field, houses that are 300-400 yards apart, the field of weeds across the street from my house, and the "angry old guy" who lives in the white house with the driveway that comes off the back side of the circle.
