Hoss, in flipping thru the channels the other day I caught a burn out competition on tv. They were all hotrods and they were burning out in violent 360's etc, not just powerbraking like it appears john was doing in the pic. one of the hotrods caught the rear tires on fire repeatedly, it was pretty cool.

Hey jon, Come out to Cali in sept. I need some comptition this year. Last year I won the amature class for the route 66 burn out contest. I also competed in the frestyle class. Had my truck spinning in circles. Was awsome.

I asked permission to walk it out since several other competitors did, but they asked me not too, so I didn't. It did eat the concrete though. The tranny temps never went over 160 if I remember correctly, but that's because I let it cool off for a while before doing the burnout. It took maybe 5 seconds to get into overdrive, and the tranny doesn't slip when locked up in OD.

When I had some crappy 35" Xterrans on my F150 I decided to smoke em down and with my locker it was even better...I was sittin at about 40-45 mph in second gear and You could litterally hear the concrete breaking up sounded like a poping noise...I caried them out and like 5 mins after i did it they were still sticky!!

NO, not at 50. 2nd gear lasts up to around 40mph at redline. I was hitting the rev limiter locked up in OD.

110+mph not moving an inch. 
I wonder if any of the corvets and TAs can even acomplish that? I seriously dought they can get into OD with out moving.

I still don't have the video of my CTD doing a burnout... but it wasn't a burnout comp, it was jsut warming up the tires for a run down the strip. I also have one of my Hemi that I'll have to find as well...
