Burnout Competition

Burnout Baby!

On the street, doing a burnout is an invitation for trouble with the law. But in front of our audience, burnouts are a reason to stand up and cheer. For the participants, we give them a reason to burn some rubber in front of a huge crowd, in a safe environment.  For the winner - bragging rights for a year and a new set of General Tires!
