Default How to BEAT a SBC...
This is about the worst "beat session" that I've ever seen.
1. 4 wheel burnout, for starters (on Super Swampers)
2. Shifts in the middle of a burn out (a big no-no)
3. massive use of the rev limiter
4. Massive clutch smoking after the thrid shift
5. and finally.... parts all over the asphalt. LOL!

I could almost smell the clutch burning, just watching it.
