I hate these pointless record attempts. They don't do the car hobby any good.

It's like having the record for putting 100 ferrets down your trousers. You may be a record holder but your still an idiot.

How about 100 Cobra owners eating Donuts....we don't have to prove a thing.
I have done a burnout in an electric service vehicle parked against the door frame. Ha Ha Ha !

I am right with Mike on this one. A new road near our house is now littered with the remains of radial tyres all over the place - rubber, metal webbing and just a terrible mess. It seems dumb and wrong.

Default How's about a record for 100 Cobra owners griping all at once?

Burning rubber has always been part of the hi-po car hobby. I still break 'em loose every once in a while just to make sure the car is running right. The novelty wears off as we get older, but we were all young once (well most of us, anyway). 100 cars doing donuts is not something I would travel far to see, but it doesn't particularly offend me either. I just don't get it with all the pontification...

No, not really; but whenever the subject of burnouts, drifting, etc comes up, it seems to trigger a whole lot of "holier-than-thouism" which I find kinda funny on a forum dedicated to cars famous for being antisocial, underweight and overpowered.
Here's the man himself lining up for a shot at the record.

Had a kid at work that swore a burnout was the ultimate show of power. I parked the 24v electric service cart against the door post and proceeded to do a burnout. The kid stopped loudmouthing...ha ha ha.

Is that kit car compliant?? Really that ground clearance looks insufficient, the roll bar ridiculous, and does he have a full harness seat belt? And he is about to pontificate ...
