What is it with burnouts?
Does spinning a rubber tyre while you are holding the front wheels with the brakes cause a swelling in your pants? Some people never grow up

Good to see I am not the only one who does not understand the mentality behind applying the brake and spinning the tyres. It must be popular to be a flog as there are many cars getting around with stockies on the back for just such an occasion.

Most of us have probably done something dumb at some time behind the wheel, but there`s dumb and dumber.
reminds me of a dumb young mate that would go to the back street drags decades ago and tear up the road towards the gathering of cars and people and do a hand brakey at speed, nearly taking out a bunch of people no amount of trying to talk sense into the dude would curb his foolishness, total DH. |

Life is short, gotta have a little fun once in a while, just pick the time and place. Also, line lockers don't do much for me, I understand it has a purpose for warming the tyres for drag racing, but it isn't that fun. But when a car has so much power it just wants to burn rubber or drift without trying, yeah that can be pretty fun once in a while. I think people should look for other adrenaline-pumping activities too, so you're not always trying to fulfill that need on the street.

There's a monumental difference between a 'burn-out comp' and a useless piece of &^%$ kicking an accelerator 5 metres away from an unsuspecting family.

There's a big difference between a skid pad with safety marshalls, walls and dedicated areas to prevent injury, than a built up area where several people and families are just trying to have a cup of coffee or a gelato. When you go to said burnout comps on the ticket it mentions the risks associated, and you waive your rights to seek compensation if you're injured - and most understand those risks and enter anyway, as they go the venue to specifically see burnouts. On a public road on a Sunday afternoon no one is there to see burnouts, much less being to be put at risk by a wildly fishtailing datsun in the control of an inbred moron. That's why it's rightly illegal, and punishable under law. The fact you cannot see the distinction between a skid pad and a public road really speaks volumes, and I'd proffer that your opinion of police is that "they're all picking on us" - sort of like this bloke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcgh5Gurr8U

The quality of the posts in this thread is appalling. We should try a but harder to respect the views of all posters (except SJ, of course).

The Driver, 21.
Has held licences from multiple states and lost them all. He was also in the joint recently for an Armed offence. I don't see him having brains or respect for anyone and I hope they throw the book at him and keep him in this time.
