    Anytime I think about that old "mavcrazy" thread I remember Rays response.


    "Yeah I've got a weird problem too. Sometimes when I take off from a stoplight huge wings sprout out of the quarter panels and my car just lifts off. It usually stays in the air for about twenty minutes and the whole time this is happening a steady stream of monkeys is flying out of both tailpipes.
    Any ideas fellas?"

    Here is the recipe to set up an on board burn out system."from my high school days" :evilsmile


    Simply mount a windshield washer reservier (sp) in the trunk, drill a small hole in each rear wheel well.
    Mount the windshield spray nozzles in the holes so they will spray the tires.

    Now mount a switch on your shifter (people will think its NAWS:rofl2: ) .

    Fill the tank with the liquid of your choice, water,bleach what ever.

    Now at any time your underpowered car can do a burnout as long as you like
    by simply pressing the button on the shifter. :D

    Not to mention the second gear burn you`ll get when you "spray it" on the shift!

    That idea was also used to spray water in front of the oponent's tire when lined up and ready to race on the street (street racing is bad kids. do not do it).


    Man, that had to suck for the other guy. :drink:

    Wait a minute...I`ve got it...If you are still here Mavcrazy lurking.

    I believe if you install one of my above mentioned water sprayers.And then use it to soak your tires EVERY time you take off...I believe it may cause enough traction loss (unless you are running Mickey Thompson "E/T Rain" tires) to let your front end stay on the ground.

    I did that on my old F100 with the big block. It would spin anyway, but getting rubber at freeway speeds was kinda cool. First time I nearly took out the side of an 18 wheeler showing off, I took all that crap back off. Man that truck was fun.

    No, the class I'm referring to is the regular saturday night street radial class...Centerville, Ar.

    I knew a few burnouts in high school,[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG] I also do remember stories of people doing the washer bottle thing. I don't think my car in high school could've done a burn out if you pumped drain oil at the rear TIRE, she was an '81 Cutlass, with the famous 231 and over 100,000 rounds on it.
