Burnout comps, highly skilled precision driving or d!ckheads being bogans? Not much skill involved in wrecking a car with no mechanical sympathy doing a "Burnout". A waste of good vehicles a bit like the drifting crowd, that does take a bit of skill but fastest doesn't win. How many drifting expurts are known in motor racing circles?
I agree....Having the rear tyres spinning whist doing 100KPH+ road speed inbetween 2 concrete walls just wide enough to turn a car around and not hit it doesn't take much skill at all...
Alot of people that are serious about burnouts frown on these tossbags that do this stuff on the street...These bogans hang out together, forming really good family orientated friendships, allowing their ******** kids to learn about alot about cars and the right place on how to go about doing burnouts in the correct environment..
I have rellies involved in the burnout scene and one of those rellies makes shirts/hats/jumpers/stickers etc to sell at burnout competitions to help autistic kids....This is done in her spare time....She works part time (20 hour minimum p/w), along with getting 2 autistic kids to and from their appointments....She quite often sells out of stuff, because all those bogans/dickheads that are involved in the burnout scene buy it up big.....
Then you have promotors come from interstate, holding competitions, putting cash back into that states economy, by holding these family friendly events...And yes they are family friendly, because those who are bogans that are serious about burnouts soon band together to get rid of those dickheads.
Gary Myers, Clint Olgivy, Chris Christo, Chic Henry are 4 that spring to mind...Chris was actually the face of Bridgestone way back in the 90's (from memory)...
So yep, definately bogans and dickheads that enjoy a good time in the safety of a controlled environment, rather than on some backroad in the middle of surburbia
