Default Rubber on the road

Share your pics or videos of rubber left on the road...

I was planning a 180 on the highway, but kept the wheel cranked and floored...



Of course, all pictures will be on a closed course with professional drivers.

No, but that normally aspirated Buick would spin 'em up easy enough -

No, most of that rubber (if not all of it) was from a member's
'67 coupe with 548 cubes. They occured just after I asked
Mark to take my kids for a little "demonstration".
