I'm 49 and have never done a burnout. Well, Ok, I autocross, the occasional track day, and a few trips down the 1/8th. But, burnouts? Too intimidated.

Oh, and it's called a "picture" (just trying to help ).

Have a good one,
Mike

I haven't. Now if you don't like it, or think I'm a rookie because of it, bring it on azzhat. If you can't show a little respect, don't add your worthless comments. The only stupid question is one you don't ask, but the stupid reply to a question you have down real good. Grow up jerk

I don't car if you have or haven't. All I said is that I thought it was pretty sad if you haven't and you are over 18yo. $hit, live a little. BTW, what do you mean by "bring it azzhat"? lol And you tell me to grow up.

49, you were around the muscle car era and you NEVER did a burnout? This is really hard to believe.
Actually, grew up in Ark and went to school at La. Tech, about 90 minutes east of you.

Now, back to the subject at hand...

Water, a little bleach for smoke effect and point your car uphill (the steeper the better). No traction control.

sincerely,

A4 is easy...Turn Traction control off, push down brake pedal and floor it. Try and hold the RPM's around 4-5k and have fun.

Use a set of wheel chocks on the front tires. Hide them from the camera Save the brakes! They will keep the car straight also. No I dont do this but they do at car shows for the burnout contests.

Err this wont work for a manual will it? I thought an A4 was an Audi. 17yr old who has only ever burnt toast. I guess you get the revs up, let out the clutch and get you left foot onto the brake pronto?
