Here is one I did 15 years back in my 67 bug street car. Did it in 2nd gear. Drove it on the BERG Cruise to Detroit 7 weeks later in May of 1997. The YouTube link is below. Be sure to post some shots of your street cars doing burnouts too!

I have a bunch of old 8mm film reels (no sound on them though) and VCR tapes I took from the old days of a lot of famous cars doing burnouts and wheelies. I have been meaning to get them transferred over to DVD so I can post some. This might be the motivation I needed.

The last bay window burn out is plain awesome. Like having a burn out cruise control mode in a bus lol. English style..

 ....After many years as a VW Event Announcer I saw my first real Bus Burnout Exhibition at EBI in Chimay and what I saw floored me as well as the thousand + onlookers. Absolute professionalism to the core the way that that those in involved took care of business..!!  ABSOLUTE WICKED..!!   THANK YOU GUYS.....Dyno Don      www.dynodon.net

Really...I could have sworn it was at Lombardy Raceway back in the late 80's  ;)

Thanks Rick M and Texas Tom for your Burn Out Clips. Is there a '67 theme going on. There will always be a special place in my heart for Busses doing big smoky burn outs :)

Rick S.... I am a 67 die hard through and through.  Arizona still has not abandon the 67 and later emissions rule. When they do, I will have to build another one.  Until then, I had to make my current ride a 66.  I have always been partial to the 67 from my early days.

I never got back with you on my end play issue...that you gave me some input on.  I did end up setting it with a little more clearance than the .003-.004 as we discussed.  Was glad I did.

Thanks Don,

Always appreciate your love for what we love doing  ;D

See you next year  ;D

Due to the fact that there is the next SCC on the upcoming weekend this needs to be posted here...

Great stuff!  I cannot get over some of those EUROPEAN Bays doing burnouts.  It is making me rethink my Bay Window project. :-)

Hilarious kid/mom comments!  Sounds familiar to my life right now.   ;D

I will never forget Dominick's 5+ minute burnout at our Bug-O-Rama event.  It set a record that few will ever beat. It was crazy!

Rick M

You autotechniks guys are the kings of busburnouts Jesus !!
Too bad the burnoutbox wasnt as popular on the hotrodshow but next year at ebi hope it will be some serious stuff again !

The burnout contest replaced our Miss Bug-O-Rama contest.  Frankly,  more people (including wives and kids) liked the burnouts, except for the dirty old men!  :-)

heres my little effort a little while before i bust the motor. :)

who needs a line lock when you have a turbo available. My son Jacob doing his burnout at the last Drag Day running Outlaw Turbo in his street driven bug Loco Moco.

I took the bug on a 75 mile cruise last Saturday. Jake drove his Ghia.
