(Words and\u00a0photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Burnouts.\u00a0 We all enjoy either watching them or doing them.\u00a0 This gallery is made up of photos from the tradition that ranges from just cleaning the tires off to heating the hides enough to they can stick to Teflon.\u00a0 The Dodge Ram was a treat to see perform the task as it seemed completely effortless.\u00a0 That thing makes so much torque you could have ran it on tar paper and the tires would still make noise going down track.\u00a0 We managed to capture Joe Bridges and John Howard simultaneously performing their procedure in near twin-appearing, yellow Ford Falcon gassers.\u00a0 As I standing by the starting line I saw the blue Nova with the hood scoop approaching the burnout box and spotted stickers on the slicks.\u00a0 I rushed back to capture what would likely be a monumental smokey to break the tires in properly.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t disappointed.\u00a0 Finally, my son managed to snap the shot of the red Chevy II initiating the heating process, and in my opinion, captured it perfectly.\u00a0 Great way to spend a Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
