Just throwing this out there for discussion.

I grew up in Minnesota and the preferred method for getting yourself out of a snowbank or patch of deep snow when you were stuck was to "rock" the car back and forth. You did this by gunning the car in reverse, then jamming into drive or first and gunning it, then jamming it back into reverse and repeating over and over until you finally built up enough momentum to get yourself up and over the snow obstacle and out. I think owner's manuals back then even told you how to do it this way. Lots of tire spinning involved here, probably more brutal than any burnout box. Never heard of anyone exploding their 727 or hurting them in any other way doing this.

So was this because they were stock trans and all had low-band apply? Just curious.

Yes... I never really spun much but did rock it back
and forth till I got a run way built into the snow
then once it was going I would spin some(spinning
isnt traction but it did meld the snow)
