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.

I'm not so sure he's never done a burnout. I'd bet $5 that in a Walmart parking lot not too many years ago and not far from the trailer park where he lived, he gave the parking brake in mommy's Prius a mighty stomp and did a 6K rpm neutral drop; he was euphoric when he beheld the 3' rubber marks he laid down from dragging the back tires across the tarmac, like a dog trying to scrub off a dingleberry.

He's merely graduated to a louder and more expensive version of that.

Learn to operate what you own, or get used to being a laughingstock forced to pay someone else to clean up after your stupidity.

Yeah, hard to know if the guys running the cameras are enjoying it too much to try to stop it...or if they're just as clueless as the drivers. Either way, we're the winners.
