Budman Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 In anticipation of the Stock Car Spectacular, I think a discussion of the correct method of executing a burnout is in order. I think I've only ever seen one done correctly, and I don't even remember who the driver was. Originally, the smoke shroud was intended to hide car and driver from the crowd, while the driver extracated him/her self from the vehicle. Then, as the smoke clears, the crowd finds to their amazement the driver standing atop his racecar. Isn't this the correct way to do it?

Well, I hate to say it, but when you're a low budget team with one decent motor and maybe one backup, you're best off refraining from them altogether. The fans are just going to have to be content with the racing action. That is on the off chance that we win it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Chase, Would love to see ya'll win it! And, actually I'm rather "old school" about post race celebrations. Burnouts put a heck of a lot of stress on drive lines. I think a simple victory lap with checkered flag in hand is sufficient. But, for those who do choose to celebrate with a burnout ................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAMS boy Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 BURNOUTS: ..... see Newton Barta Jr. @ SAS in his Modified! Mel, those were some great burnouts. Recall one season finale the top 3 or 4 sas points guys in the mods all did donuts on the front stretch. The crowd loved that one.

craigmclain.com Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 There is nothing like sound of a motor staying in the power band as the driver works the throttle just enought to keep the tires lit. Soon the smoke boils out from under the car and all you can think is you wish you were behind the wheel. Every driver should celebrate. It puts a smile on everyones face. After the race I always keep watching to see what the winner is gonna do. I say smoke'em down. You deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
