    Default '85 GS burnout **NOW WITH VIDEO**

    It's only been just over a year since I promised everyone here some burnout video, but who's keeping track?

    FedEx dropped off new tires today.

    So what did I do with the old dry rotted, incorrect size tires currently on it? I did a few healthy burnouts behind WalMart of course. My friend Dave took some pictures and video of the celebration. Here's a couple of the pics. Video will follow once I recover from my smoke inhilation and we get the video converted from 8mm to digital. Let me add, as a teaser, that the videos are much better than the pictures! Enjoy.

    Sweet.

    Looks better doing burnouts than it did on my trailer.

    Now how about that race car?

    Roger on that!

    That's the first time I've ever done a series of burnouts like that. I didn't even think of the wind thing until I was watching the video and began analyzing how I could do it better next time.

    Wish I had some old tires.

    You don't need old tires to do burnouts. you just need 4 good tires so you can rotate the balding tires to the front

    Ohhhh, he beat me to it, I was going to tell you to flip the car around, It would be a much cooler pic without the smoke trying to kill you.
