Now this is how you do a wheelie. Anything can run in the eights is fast. Obviously. But being able to get the wheels off the ground like that and STILL run 8.2 says something about the car and the driver. The dude has skills and the car is amazing. I would love see what […] More »

Watching a classic car like this do a burnout is always a little nostalgic. The Bel Air’s heyday was over 50 years ago, and yet here it is, fumigating what looks like a rain forest with tire smoke.
