YouTube style wreck while leaving a car show in my town.
If he was doing a burnout, the back wheels didn't "break loose" when he backed off. More likely, he wasn't quite pointed straight and when he backed off the back wheels regained traction and pushed him in the direction his front wheels were pointed.
Anyway, I see lots of videos of people deliberately spinning their tires and they don't back off soon enough when it starts fishtailing and lose control. Worst is when they give it full throttle while they're still turning. What are they proving? That they don't know s%$*t.
:BangHead:
Actually, I know you know, that it's called drifting, and if your car is set up for it, it is tremendously satisfying.
The problems I see is that most street cars are NOT set up for it, the engines are just too pipey, they're geared all wrong, and the tires are just too narrow to use for recovery.
Not that I know anything about drifting...........
Some guys will brag on how nicely it spins the tires.
Well spinning and sliding, are not drifting.
Drifting on the street, requires enough controllable power to, at will, change the rear slip angle, and NOT get into full-lock steering, and most of all, to use front-steer, as a tool, not as a last resort.
But ; not that I know anything about drifting lol.
Finally, if the car is prone to fish-tailing, then for sure the car is Not set up right, and the driver is set up to failure right from the start. A spin out is immanent, and you better be experienced to recover. Get a 70 Swinger, on E70-14 Polyglass tires; and practise, practise, practise, lol.
