Went to a a ratrod car show and all day on a main city street in a industrial area with no police presents people lined up watching 100+ cars , bikes and trucks roasting their tires. Question we all know tires smoke is white but a few after smouldering for a minute or two would put off a yellow smoke for a short time then back to white. Anyone have a idea why.
 
Usually the white then yellow then white means a new Pope has not been chosen.

Where they using bleach for the burnouts? was the road surface getting worse with each burn-out?
 
If the tire smoke gets really thick and dense enough, it appears yellowish. When its thinner, its more white. That's assuming its not those goofy tires made to actually produce colored smoke...

Used to think spinin was winin in the 70's. Maybe I had unresolved ANGER issues. I have grown up now and find this practice absurd.

I could back up a dog slow camaro straight six auto out of a parking space and do a 50 ft burnout.

Means nothing other than you have Juvenile tendencies.

Or just expensive tires in general. I knew a kid in the 90's who used to do little burnouts all the time. He got a new set of Z rated tires and they were bald after less than 5k miles. They were over $200 each. I think he stopped after that.

Power braking my vette gives me a boner. There are lots of things people waste time and money on. Like going to the range and burning thru a couple hundred bucks in ammo.

Yeah, like about half the BITOG membership does, apparently.
 
If I had a hot rod, once my tires got below their min tread depth and were in need of replacement I know how I'd finish off the last few 32nd's.
 
I work with this guy...Oz champion...he's neither juvenile, nor has unresolved anger issues...he's regularly the best at what he does.

Not a drinker or smoker, family guy, teaching his sons the family art, competing at what he likes.




But I DID get a giggle out of this...sent it to Brett


As usual, Red Green tells the truth...about a few posts above...naysayers down a few quarts of testosterone

Ah, I never was able to watch that show regularly, but always liked it.
