I didn't say I'm a hater of burnouts, sure they aren't my thing and I'm not the type of bloke who could sit and watch for hours but I don't understand why people would spend so much $$ and build a beautiful car then basically destroy it within minutes. Surely it is possible to do a burnout without completely wrecking a car? I'm assuming as the level and showmanship increases so does the need for a more visually spectacular 'burnout'. Unfortunately with intense heat, flames and flying rubber and belts spectators are going to risk injury, there are risks at all Motorsport. I am amazed at events like Summernats you can have joe public enter his car and do a static burnout with huge crowds lining the streets either side and have nobody get hurt. IMO when you attend stuff like this you know the risk, weigh it up against the reward and occasionally stuff happens unfortunately.
