doughnuts????
I am curious... not that i am going to try them... but how do you do a proper doughnut??? I have seen people from a virtual dead start get their back ends swinging around and the front tires are practically staying in place. Do you turn the wheels, drop the clutch while you heel the brake?
Thanks for the input :D :D :D

Not that I've ever done this or anything :D But with an auto, you powerbrake it and get the tires spinning really good, then let off the brake and cut the wheel. It's good for a nice smoke show and killing tires you are about to replace :lol:

Re: doughnuts???? (MEATHOUSE)
Not that I have ever done this either, but I once had a 64 Stingray Coupe that was really good at it. :yesnod: Just cut the front wheels hard right or left, Break the back tires loose and keep them spinning fast enough so they can't get traction and around you will go. Then pick a direction you want to exit on and start steering the front tires that direction while easing up on the gas so the tires get close to getting traction to start moving you foward. Once the car starts to get straightened out and going foward, back on the gas hard to continue the burnout as you exit. :D
If you can find a out of the way parking lot that is empty at night or weekends, it's a good place to practice until you get the technique down.
All above as reported to me by someone back in the 60's.
