I had a blast. It was super packed up there. Lots of cops though. I turned my car up a bit hoping for some good races, Had one 60mph roll race w/ a Supra and lifted a head It was quite fun though so I dont care...

yeah, the mess of a parking situation at the burnout thing sucked, I ended up missing everything because of it. But I'm super glad I went...I can't believe I never went before. The sheer amount of automotive awesomeness there was overwhelming.

A bunch of friends went and seen the burnout thing... I think if you seen one you seen them all, not much of a spectator thing. I walked around the strip and did some sight seeing during the day... didnt want to drive in the gridlocked traffic and 90 degree heat. Got to see a lot of "appropriately" dress women and some cool cars cruising... way cooler than doing donuts and burnouts in a parking lot

Ive been going to the burnouts at the edge o dells for the past couple years, and I share the same opinion as pwrtrip, if you've seen one you've seen them all. We watched for about an hour then left. I couldnt believe the amount of traffic heading to the burnouts on our way out. The $5 parking should have come with a free car wash afterwards. Next year Im skipping the burnouts and going straight to cruizin chubbys.

That was you? Yeah I saw that, that sucks. Were you parked with the Formula outside that t-shirt shop earlier in the day?



I parked there first, then I moved to that motel where that red custom Silverado for sale was sitting and parked next to a Trans Am:
