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.

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-thou ism" 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 ...
