Huh?
OK here's the only decent pic of my pathetic little burnout.
The first one, the car started creeping forward, I couldn't stop it so after about 30 feet I stopped. Not nearly as much smoke.
This is the second one, I held the car still and got 'em smoking good. I know it got a lot smokier, I had to back off when the smoke filled the cockpit to where I could hardly see the windshield. I coulda kept it up till I was on the rims. Unfortunately I was not in control of the camera, so this is the only shot, taken too soon.
Kinda funny, but all that went through my mind after a few seconds is "My poor brakes! What am I doing to my brakes?" I immediately went for a run for a mile or so up & back the highway to cool them off.
Yeah it was fun, I can see how it can be addictive. But I just can't do that shit to my brakes anymore.
New tires on Monday: Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s, 255/60-15 in front, 275/60-15 rear, blackwall out.
I dunno, maybe tomorrow (Saturday) night after dark I'll run out Hwy 402 to the 4-way stop at the Johnstown road intersection and leave a couple good trails of my own to add to the many already there......Yeah, that sounds like a plan.....:nuts:
(PS: If you look in the shop, to the left you can Bruce's Vette where he's installing a new MSD box & distributor on his 383, and to the right through the smoke above my cowl is the ass end of Wesley's 72 Camaro where he's rejetting the Holley on his 502.....)
