Can certainly hear you feathering the throttle to avoid roasting the tyres as you leave the line!

that exhaust system you have fitted sounds fantastic

Its really subtle (despite single box) until you get into boost mode- then it sounds awesome!

Very entertaining my friend and many thanks for posting the links. That V8 monster looks incredibly quick!!

very nice rolling burn-out there sir, i'm surprised they have the water box so far away from the strip tho.

My bro almost ran over a marshal doing his burn-out at the Easter thunderball, his run was following Mark in the Vanarchy van who loves doing silly burn-outs where no-one can see a thing. My bro sat in the box waiting for the smoke to clear but the race director got stroppy & pointed him on, he went for it doing a rolling burn-out to the line & luckily just spotted the bloke sweeping the line thru the fog, managed to stop in time & just miss him

I was quite proud of that one lol
It's a matter of not enough space on site- they rent a taxiway off Bitburg airport for the 1/4s. So it's not a prepped strip like Pod or Avon Park.

shi-ite! I've seen the Vanarchy van on youtube- brilliant burn outs! I need slicks and a line lock as my F1s are losing quite alot of tread on a monthly basis

i don't normally do a burn-out tbh, on normal road tyres i don't think they are designed for the heat to make any difference to the compound. I normally just drive thru the water box & spin upto the line to clean & stones off them. Bitburg must be nice piece of tarmac tho to be getting such good times

you don't need a line-lock on FWD, just keep the handbrake on & floor it lol. Mark (Vanarchy) uses Toyo tyres on his race bus & they've lasted surprisingly well

ah...this is kinda embarrassing, my handbrake is now totalled due to me forgetting to take it off after burn out and running the 1/4 with it on! LOL
Still did a 15.5@91mph hahaha what a divvy eh?!

It wasn't one of my finer moments! Still, 15.5 with the handbrake on is quite good lol
