I did a couple of "burn to pop" smokers when I worked at the dealership. Crowd loved it and I had a new tire waiting inside.. I got a kick out of it too.
I "love" the Smokey Burnout competitions at biker meets. If you win, you get a new tire. All the less fortunate competitors get to call AAA for a ride home and get to buy their own tire. Beer and partial nudity make people do unusual things!
Mostly I did it because I thought Zac's was kewl....
I just moved into my new place, and it needed a burnout.
I had just come off of a two hour run around the Snickersville Turnpike (thus the one piece) and my rear was down to steel. What better time to do a burnout? I was actually just letting off when the tire popped, wasn't expecting it at all.....bonus.
I never do burnouts, too wasteful. But, I think everyone should pop one in their lifetime....it's like kickboxing, owning a really fast car or dating a really fast woman...doing a track day, or double stacking fireworks mortars in the tubes & daisy-chaining them off...everyone should try it once....
Plus, any time I can call the guys on my crotch rocket forum sissies is a good time.
