guys, here's the bottom line.
1. it was legal
2. those who participated could afford to do so
post whatever you want, but all of your preaching and judging are not very damn likely to keep it from happening again next year.

Good stuff...thanks for sharing! 
...well put!
You know... While not everyone chose to do the burnout competition. (Myself included) We all enjoyed those that did. 
It's their car, and as long as they enjoy the miles of smiles, who cares!
This was done in a controlled enviroment, with fire department and medical personnel nearby. Not illegally on some side street. So I think calling someone stupid is a tad un-called for. (Fair game for the guys doing it illegally on the side streets
)
At the end of the day it's just a car.... A really great american built performance car, but just a car.

I was there.....this was a controlled enviornment, police and fire department were on hand. Spectators were well out of the way of any danger. The participants in this event had changed out their tires just for this event. Honestly some members of this forum needs an enema...some of the posters in this thread are driving the wrong vehicle if they find fault in this contest. Sometimes this place is so uptight, it reminds me of those old guys in caddyshack. Get a grip people, you only go around this life once.

I wasn't going to do it, but I'm not going to criticize others for doing it, especially in a controlled environment.

Well, several negative comments here, but hey I did this tonight with my vette, its always good to squeal the tires a bit, hey we bought these cars to be driven, not to be garage queens that we don't punch. Let's have fun with these cars, that's what they were built for, if you don't believe me my dads big block vette has over 300,000 miles!

After three combat tours
I'm enjoying the hell out of my 663/585rw. Not that I have the disposible $$$ but, what's the point of not enjoying your vette the way you choose. My PS2's aren't cheap but, it's my choice. Some of you need to see your doctor and have your tailpipe cleaned out.

well - I'm neutral on the topic, fun to watch, but unless I won the lottery I wouldn't be doing any of that stuff in my Z06. at 1000 dollars for two rear tires.... no thanks.
What really kinda made me go "wtf" was the red Z06 in video 4, where he pretty much did 25% of a donut and continued to burnout, pointing his rear's at the safety crew and his front into what would seem to be an audience. If one of his tires failed bye bye safety crew. He should have stopped, lined back up and continued.

They all involve circles and some strait lines... Ok i am dizzy

Disagree! I have plenty of fun in my vette from slow riding, cornering, spirited runs, etc., and the car will never experience the abuse these guys are doing to their cars by bouncing it off the rev limiter for 5 or so minutes straight. Not saying the car can't handel it, but I am not going to find out It's funny, every once and a while I hear someone ask how high their oil/coolant temps get. If you want to set the high temp records try doing burn outs at 7100 rpms for minutes straight on a 100 degree day with no air flow, that will get you there! I am sure oil temps approaching 325 and coolant temps approaching 275 are just terrific for the car 
Not everybody buys a Z06 to dog the $hit out of it!

Safety Car
ABSOLUTELY - this was far from a "controlled environment". I don't think it takes too much imagination to see some idiot losing it and launching their car into the crowd or another car.
