Me and a few friends got bored yesterday, and decided to go bombing through his field with this. I know the pic is sideways, but so was the limo at times.  Seriously.......I do this.  | ||

Come on come on, that's no good, we need spec's & video. | ||

I only took a crappy 10 second video while sitting in back. I'll have it up this afternoon. | ||

Uh.....I guess I do to?  My son came home with an older Camaro that he was looking into buying. I took it out on the back road and smoked 'em a couple of times then did donuts sliding it out through my field in the muddy grass. Weird eh? | ||

We used to do that in empty supermarket car parks early on snowy mornings. Sadly these days they make carparks that have manky trees & trolley shelters & kerbs & islands everywhere, so it's not nearly as much fun. | ||

I'm a big fan of "reverse" donuts- this requires a FWD, not RWD car- garonteed tons of shits & giggles! Locate proper parking lot, recon for absence of the po po, turn steering wheel to full lock, select reverse, and floor it! | ||

"Locate proper parking lot, recon for absence of the po po, turn steering wheel to full lock, select reverse, and floor it!" Even better when you have a hand brake. Not that I've ever done such a thing or condone it, so I've heard.  | ||

I took each of my kids out for them to do this as soon as they started to drive. I told them eventually they would drive a car that wold go into a skid. The first few times that happens it can be scary if you don't know what to do. Those first time had better not be on a road with others around. They would skid and slide and peel around the lot until we ran out of time - wow that was so much fun! They never have had a problem with winter driving. Chalk one up for Dad being right that time!! | ||

Bob, did the same with my kid and a bunch of his buddies, teaching them all to drive a stick shift at the same time. You should have seen their faces the first time I hauled ass across the lot, grabbed the emergency brake and spun the wheel!! | ||

Fwd may make for better reverse donuts, but suck at "rockfords" Guess I do this stuff too, used to be any motor vehicle no longer worthy of road duty got transformed into a "lot car". Run em till they die then borrow someone's tractor to haul it off to the car graveyard. | ||

This shit is exactly why I got into racing dirt track race cars. I started in NW Pa with donuts in the snow and liked going sideways so much that I was told to get it off from the street.....by the last of four Pa State Troopers who gave me a ticket in one month, that was shortly after my 20 th birthday. After I started racing.....no more tickets. I knew there had to be a cure! | ||

You can "induce" a tank slapper on a front wheel drive car(at least the older ones anyways). Crank steering wheel to full left(or right),let go of wheel,put in drive and floor it. It will sorta go straight down the road..............till you break something....  | ||
| Whatever |
... obviously you do... lol | ||

Can't get the vid from the phone to work on here. There is also an old cheap Ace Hardware go-cart (mimics a tiny Honda Odyssey) with the azz end of a VW Beetle welded to it. After we ground off the exhaust pipes, and trashed the little skinny 7" front discs, we took the front end off the beetle and put it on the go-cart frame to balance it out a bit. Fastest and scariest p.o.s. thing I've ever driven. Pegs the fun meter though. This shit is exactly why I got into racing dirt track race cars. Yeah, thats why we keep it at the farm. Doin this stuff on the street is a bit unruly. That field is perfect for my street legal tard that will be done soon though........  | ||

...me and a bunch of friends use to do that stuff back in the 60's and 70's.In fields and out in orchards(a true"field" car).Laughed our arses off while pitching it sideways and what not.We also use to"tow" a carragated(sp) piece of metal with a pallet bolted to it behind a truck out in the vacant fields(field running) and play "crack the whip".Up in Lake Tahoe,we would tow abandoned cars out to the forest and play "crack the whip"...taking turns in the "towed"vehicle,smacking trees and rocks,then would do the death demolition of it or just force the car down a trail to its demise(we'd be wearing helmets and riding inside).Some of the funny stuff we did long ago ....and no one got hurt.....except maybe hurting our ribs from laughing so much.Those were fun times for sure.LT | ||

Buick used to make a supercharged Regal front wheel drive that you could get in the rental car fleet from time to time in 2001, IIRC. Oh the reverse donuts that thing could do. It would spin so hard, it would break the rear wheels loose and pirouette. Some days, I miss the road warrior life. Other days, not so much. |
