Title: Can someone explain burnouts please...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 09 October 2014, 19:39:10
Been watching lots of ''burnout fails'' videos, feel so sorry for the poor cars that get destroyed (well, clutches mainly)

Can someone explain to me the point of destroying your tyres (if they go before the clutch does)?

So loads of smoke comes off the tyres..... awesome  ??? ??? ???

There is an element of sanity with a sensible burnt out in racing, or drag racing.

I'd guess you know the logic behind drag racing, well that works with bikes as well in cold conditions. Not uncommon for bike racers to do a quick spin up just before the start to get some heat, and therefore grip in the tyre.

Beyond that..... Pointless  ::)

burn outs originate from drag racing-the rear tyres end up softer after burn out-giving extra grip for launch---watch top fuel drag cars tosee what I mean :y

oh yeah..... get the tyres ''sticky'' so that you have more grip. F1 cars are told to do between 3 and 6 burnouts prior to the start to get heat in the tyres.

But, sorry what I should have said was...

the ones where young lads keep their everyday car still while the driven wheels burn out til the tyre explodes.

seriously am I missing something  ??? lol

usually wrong wheel drive gay mobiles--as seen at my local tesco car park on a saturday nite---they get upset when a rat rover burbles up to them and leaves smoking tyres and v8 thunder ;D ;D ;D

It rates about as highly as all the stupid oppsing self-abusers who insist on covering all the roundabouts here with rubber, oil and then ultimately, debris from their twenty year old Jap shitboxes when they inevitably crash... :-X

As another young member of the 'crew', here is my stance.

Burnouts 'prove' that you have so much POWAH that you can overcome the laws of FYSICS by being able to burst your SPENSIVE boots by dropping the clutch, Yo.

Just need a couple of BREDRIN to push back on the car and hold up the lowered SPENSHUN for it to work properly.

FAKT!
