Burning out old tires Video

[dragon rider]

I took this video in spring of 08. With some advice from Jon B my first mod was to put on a fresh set PS2's, but first the old tires had to go out in a blaze of glory.

Yeah I did see it. I got a little close for comfort, but I could have stopped the slide if I would have put on my brakes.
The other screw up was when I stalled trying to complete the 360 the first time. Wish I could of edited that out.

Thanks guys. Once I started, I never pushed in the clutch pedal except when I stalled. I just left it in first the whole time and played with the throttle. Those 5 yrs old PS1 tires had very little grip, I could never get my PS2's to do that without slipping the clutch. If that was ******* the clutch, than these cars are tanks. No problems in almost 20k mile since the video. Over 50 1/4 mile passes with the last 2 passes being 11.40 and 11.45 both with 1.7 60 ft times. You gotta love the durability of these cars.

Cool video! Next time try 2nd gear, it's actually easier to control and makes more of the good stuff.

I love get new tires. It is a tradition to light them up.

looks like great fun, the skills actually get a bit better as the video continues!

I think the clutch doesn't mind one bit if you do well, you only need it to pull of the first time!
