From Hot Rods Site. Lots of rules....
Hey HOT ROD Power Tourers, want to be part of a Guinness World Record attempt? We’re tired of getting kicked around by the hot-rodders down-under. Australia has held the World Record for most cars doing a burnout for long enough. It’s time to take it back, but we need your help. Can we get more than 69 cars to line up on the return road of zMax Dragway and light ‘em up? We think we can, and we want you to be there.
This is what the Aussies call a good burnout. We want to do even better.
If you think your car can do an Australian-style, World Record-breaking burnout and you’ll be at the HOT ROD Power Tour show in Charlotte, North Carolina, then you are invited to sign up and participate in this World Record-breaking attempt on Friday, June 7, 2013. Oh, one more thing, you gotta 18 years old or older. Sorry, kiddos.
Signup on site at zMax Dragway or by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject line “BURNOUT RECORD”. Please include your name, car make and model and contact info. We need at least 70 participants to sign up or we won’t have a chance at the record, so sign up now and invite a friend to sign up too. Less than 70 cars and we won’t even bother, so if you want to burn rubber, make sure we know about it!
Take a moment to look over the rules below so you don’t get kicked out of tech.
