With our motorhome burnout videos up on the site this morning, it seems only fitting that our BangShift Question of the Day be about doing burnouts in whacky or strange things. Not that the vehicle has to be strange necessarily, just a strange one to be doing a burnout in. You know, like a motorhome. I’ve done them in rental trucks, rental cars, tow trucks, tractors, forklifts, scissor lifts, golf carts, lawn tractors, go karts, crew cab duallys, mini trucks, quads, and of course mini bikes. I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting, but I have a pretty good variety. How about you, our faithful BangShifters?
Tell us what the strangest thing is you have done a burnout in or on. And if you have video that’s even better. Send us a link via email. Maybe it will end up on the site!
What is the strangest thing you have even done a burnout in or on?
What the USAF calls a ‘”warehouse tug”,slant 6 torqueflight,no wheel base,no seat belts.
Water was not slippery enough,had to add some floor soap. Those tugs weigh about 5000lbs.
Shopping with a broken foot in one of those electric carts at Walmart I went down an isle that had lotion spilled on the floor and it spun the wheel so I laughed and had to do it 10 more times. LOL
I gotta try that next time I use their carts. That is, if I can get one with a FULL FUCKIN CHARGE, for once!
My wife’s scooter will do wheelies.
Yeah, she hates it when I do that, but my neighbor thinks it is awesome!
6000lb forklift during Desert Storm
That’s what happens when you put hot rodders and junk heavy equipment together, we see what works and what doesn’t.
Gas powered golf carts at the country club I worked at one summer.
slot cars ,
How about a 150cc single cylinder scooter? I wouldn’t have thought it had the power to do a burnout with an engine that is smaller than a 5HP lawnmower engine, but hey, it did.
a VW Bus starter. went to start the car had bad brakes and clutch (something i was told after the fact) cranked it over and the rear wheels broke loose on the shop floor.
i laughed for a good 30 seconds then did it a few more times
Every rental car I have had and I travel for a living. Rentals are also good for reverse and neutral drops and lets not forget speed bumps. Woo hoo!
In my company owned 2006 Freightliner Classic I’m just happy I didn’t drop a driveline.
same here, an old cabover international…and some various air force vehicles.
67 3 ton chev, 327, 4sp Muncie, split axle, 5.13 gear dually, .empty of course.
Chad forgot in 1994 in his mom’s new 6 speed corvette!!
a 67 cornett …with a leaning tower of power ,3 on the tree.. backed up over a speed bump and “SLAMMED” it but in first ..going back over the speed bump …bringing pain to that right rear dry rotted pias ply tire….leaving a 25 foot trail of rubber trail out of the parking lot..and losing the hub cap in the process
A 1950s era H Farmall Tractor on my dads farm, I think I was about 12 or 13 and my dad would have freaked if he saw it.
Ummmmmmm everything I’ve ever owned………… Tried in my mom’s 24’moho but the clapped out 350 wouldn’t do it. Most unique though has to be the electric bar stool. As it has no brakes the old shoe on wheel technique is used, best results by standing on front wheels and riding it backwards to better unload the rears……………. I wish I had footage of it but was laughing too hard to film.
A ride on Pallet Jack, would get the drive wheel in water and light it up across the warehouse floor!
24′ U-haul with a granny gear or maybe a 3 cyl Sprint.
back when i was in the Marines in the Early 80’s in a M35A1 deuce and half
done the deuce too!
Beer truck, fork lift, tow truck, VW bus that I also jumped, rode a wheelie in a DOT tractor through a stop light intersection..
But the hairiest thing I spun in was a metal drum-wheeled asphalt packer that we were painting, and I decided to joyride…. down a big hill, and changed my mind about halfway down. It drifted it into a 180 and was sliding backwards with the rear wheel trying to push me forward and I fishtailed all the way back up.
I almost died.
A 30′ long, 10′ wide, 4’tall, several ton, 391 FT/C-6/transfer box powered parade float chassis. With its parade gearing it decidedly WILL light the dualies up on the slick concrete of the “build barn”s floor (no water needed). 😀
