Excellent! Particularly like the smoking rubber on the ground. Unfortunately for Jon (red mustang) he managed to damage his axle

Assumed it was him pulled up in the garage up the road with the bonnet up. Did he get home OK? Damage repairable on the spot, or was it a tow home?

Sorry to hear about Jon's axle - he's a top sport for putting on the show!

Jon got home courtesy of the AA. Yhe 'stang had a newly built engine and appeared to lose oil pressure so we pulled into the garage, while pushing the car back under the lights a very loud noise was heard around the axle! Oil pressure turned out to be a sender gauge (thank goodness) and as for the axle, he wanted to install 355 gears instead of the 373's anyway!

All's well that ends well It was a particularly spectacular burnout he did. Just as I pulled out of the Fairmile to leave, a cop car turned in. I wonder what they made of the large pall of smoke hanging around the front of the pub (and the back, the sides & in the bar area)?

So how do you do the standing still burnouts?

Spin it up and then jump (but not too hard or will kill rears?!) on brake with left foot?

Mate was explaining this to me and NZer (into all that).

It's a lot easier if you have a line lock installed so that you can just put brake pressure on the fronts, otherwise you have to build the revs, drop the clutch and hop immediately onto the brake with your left foot whilst moudulating the accelerator. Needs a bit of practice, the first few seconds of this show you how not to do it... wimp !

This is better... inside view

Then there's the video of ZR1forfun which shows what to do when you've got a line lock. I'm not sure where that's lurking at the moment.

Line lock is just cheating though!
