Not bad! I suggest you invest in a Cartek linelock and then it will be easier to stay off the rev limiter.

let me guess he shot that video on a unicycle with his pet monkey doing the taping? WTF, how hard is it to hold a video camera still. Nice burn out though.

I feel sorry for your rear brakes and your diff., but looks like fun though. Ditto on the linelock.

I have an old set of F1s I've killed both edges on road courses. But the middle still has tread. I thought about mounting them up and doing some serious burnout before chucking them. Then I thought about how hard I would be flogging the diff for no point and canned the idea...

I don't understand the differntial comments.
If both wheels are spinning at an equal speed, the diff isn't doing anything but transmitting torque.
Now if one wheel wasn't turning, then the spider gears would be really turning, and they're not made for that (ask me about my 400CI Vega wagon).

What gear were you in for the burnout?

The manual that came with my DTE rear specifically mentioned to only do standing burnouts with a linelock if you're planning on standing on the brake.

Most of us Georgia boys know how them wide black stripes got on the road. If only we could figure out who all we was related to??
