Wow, that will need to be fixed.

I doubt he was looking for sympathy.

You might as well send it off to the junkyard. That car is going to need some major surgery to un**** what has just been done, and probably isn't worth the time or effort.

p.s. get a posi next time...more interesting to watch.

So what's the point in sitting still and murdering your drivetrain while destroying your tires? Is it to impress strangers?
I understand back road racing, and even burnouts in the parking lot. Cool. Whatever. But to just sit there?.... Seems a bit boring.

thats a burnout contest.. its done all the time. Notice it is on a steel plate as not to ear a hole in the asphalt. They *try* to explode a tire, thats the idea. Its just a crowd pleaser. i never did it with any of my cars..
