It's so easy even a retired schoolmarm could do in a church parking lot on Sunday.
Click off traction control, a gentle push on the brake and delicate tap on the accelerator, and you can barbecue those expensive Michelin 335/25-20" rear tires in minutes |
It's a little bit harder with a clutch. I'm not saying it's rocket science. I've done thousands of burnouts, including a number last night at the track. With a manual and no water, you've got to get the rpms up high, dump the clutch, stab the throttle further, give the car just enough brake to keep it in one place without bogging the motor or burning the clutch. Most importantly, look in the sideview mirrors to make sure smoke is coming from the tires. Oh, make sure it's in first gear. I bet one or both of these bozos was in second.
