Everybody loves burnout pics...

[IanBMW]

Even if they are of my friends Dodge R/T :evil: It is to be noted that I made a totally newb mistake of using the polarizer filter at dusk, oh well. BTW He got new tires the next day :lol: Watcha think?

[am_pitbull_terrier]

They are very cool. I like the third one nothing but a smoking pile of rubber. LOL

[despot]

Nice shots. The last one reminds me of "Back to the Future" ;)

[cmM]

Oh man I would of never of thought of that, but your right. Bad@$$!

[Ballen Photo]

Cool shots! I like how in the last shot the burnt rubber laying there is still smoking. ;)

those tyres got owned..

[Jetmech1]

Very cool. I wished my Dakota would do that.

[michael.luczkow]

new tires? looks like he almost needed some new rims he was burning out for so long :-)

[KennyG]

I'm not a person who likes, or appreciates burnouts - what is the point?

However, nice pictures, even if I can't understand the content.

[michael.luczkow]

well for a picture yeah... when you've got old tires and you're getting new ones tomorrow... okay

but the real point is to get your tires warmed up so that when you launch you're not burning out thru 4th gear going over a hundred miles per hour.

you do a burnout before you launch and then you stick a little easier.

That looks an aweful lot like the road around here we used to do burnouts on (until the staties caught on and we had to stop). When I first bought my '70 Skylark we took it out there and left two nice divits in the freshly paved road (or the side of it, out of the lane to be more specific)

[IanBMW]

KennyG, if you wanna know the point ponder this. It's like landing the perfect shot that even Time magazine doesn't deserve to put on it's cover. So damn good if it wasn't for your wife you would make wallpaper out of it. That feeling of extacy is what a car nutt feels when he's pushing his car to the limits and just burning tires like there is no tommorrow.

That has to be very dry sacarism? Given your proffesion you must see more than a few of them?


But its a display of Raw power, it pays of course not think about what its doing do the insides of the diff head.

LOL @ Ken's comment. not because of what he said, but the situation. here is a guy who probably thows away more good or great shots of moving cars than i'll ever take. he spends a lot of professional and free time around cars. he's taken a fantastic shot of two brothers crashing into each other (amongst tons of other shots). and now he asks a rhetorical question which makes me think...

yeah when i was in highschool, burnouts were cool. now, every weekend, there are cars screeching up and down the neighborhood, doing burnouts and donuts, etc. all the time. what's the point!

it's sorta like wanky tuned blow-off valves. sure blow-off is important, but do you really need so much boost so you can wshhhhhhowww just driving through the supermarket car park?

great pics, though :)

[NikonF4s]

sick shots Ian, rad. No probs with the polariser really....

[Andy_T]

Watcha think?


Pretty stupid thing to do to your tires.

But nice pics :wink:

Best regards,
Andy

[SloNeZ600]

As long as he can afford the gas and the rubber, HAVE A BALL!
Cool pics though

[mdm]

My brother and I used to take a few pictures of our cars burning up the tires. We poured transmission fluid on the one tire that would be spinning and it would make some thick smoke.

[RJSorensen]

Wonderful set of shots . . . perhaps the best I have ever seen. There is no distraction, just the truck, the power and the results. The pile of smoking rubber is just fantastic. Nothing else can be said regarding that. Just fantastic. VERY cool set of shots. Thanks for sharing them with us. I get it.

[AngelaS]

Awesome! Especially love the last one!

[D LeBlanc]

Great shots. I miss my Dakota RT.

[IanBMW]

Thanks for the comment guys, its what keeps me goin.

[Dante King]

Damn that is soooo SICK! I want a wall sized print of the last one for my office! HOORAH!

[Littlenose]

Nice pics indeed... what's the point... it's just a little fun for petrol heads... however if that's the state of the road afterwards... i wouldn't like to be the next person cleaning his wheel arches.

Agreed on only doing them when you're about to change tyres anyway, otherwise you square them off on a bike.
