I definitely game for this. I can keep mine boiling into third so I might have a good showing, since we all know I'd get raped at the track I might as well have some claim to fame.

I'm in!
I love a good burnout contest. No brakes as Ellis said just raw axle bending power. For the 6 speed guys shift marks should be fine... although I've got some really good distance in 1st gear before I also like to make and S when I leave my marks...LOL

Yeah, I have to admit.. the most insane street burnouts I've ever seen in my life all came from a certain Quasar Blue LT1.... Probably the craziest one was down at the cart racing place down in Fife... Ellis did one like half way across the parking lot, and Jim was right behind him doing donuts in the smoke cloud.

When I had my Camaro, I always loved a good burnout... too bad I needed the brakes for this one though.

I got an old pair of 275s in the back yard.....provided they don't blow I think I might have you covered this time. WE might need a 1/4 mile track to prove it tho...

Might as well beat on mine also, as i just removed about 5 pounds of rubber from last year and need the tail weight, lol. I have a set of 315 BFGs that just barely show cord on one, if someone wants them, they can have em.

So...when and where are we going to do this? If someone knows a place that will let us do serious burnouts then I know a guy with a video camera to record it for posterity's sake.

BTW, I vote for a Saturday...how does June 28th sound?
