Imagine the smell

I stumbled across this last night...

I don't disapprove of it but it doe seem to be a waste of what looks like some classic Oz motors and hours of work. It can't be the cheapest hobby to have.

As much as I love watching burnouts at Santa Pod these seem to be a bunch of knobs just wasting good machinery!

What exactly is the point in doing that?

I got bored very quickly, however one of the participants gets out of his car, throws his helmet on the ground and raises his hands in a jubilant way; "yay I've just fked my car up, awsome". Very odd.

I have stumbled across this kind of thing a few times on youtube.
It's totally lost on me.

The best result I can see from any of these is when they hit the wall hard, catch fire and have to call for a jack hammer at the end, in order to retrieve their connecting rods from the tarmac.

I just find myself thinking "what you deserve".

What really stunned me though, forget modern Ausie stuff, and nitrous inhaling Japanese sewing machines; it was the classic 69/70 Chevelle SS and El Camino that I found astonishing to see.

Even if you don't like the old US muscle car barges, those cars are worth a small fortune in their own right. Both looked in pretty good condition before they went out there.
