The Cal-look Lounge

Post your internet burnout shots.  Check this one out.  It is me in my 67 bug doing a 2nd gear burnout with the gas pedal pegged on my MSD 7000rpm rev limiter.  It is on the Ocean Street Vidoe Download section. The link to it is below.

That'll do from me  ;D

whaouuuuu

cool.

good to know bald people don't need to wear helmets as well. i'll put that in the weight saving tread.  ;D



btw do you have any benefit from doing a burnout before a dragrace with streettyres? 'cause i assumed that the tyres wont heat up enough to get mellower or benefit from it because they don't have the 'bite' like slicks do.

I'll second that! ;D

doing a burnout with street tyres actually slows you down.  Water gets into the tread, then you bring it forward to the line.  Then you slow down all the other cars.

Not the sort of behavior i would endorse on the street  >:( ;) got line lock plumbed up on my car but untill I sort out my slicks I won't be using it  :)

Hey Lids it's not working ;)

Michael

1600 single port, no line loc and 2 new Michelin XZX 165s bald in 10 minutes.

1600? no line lock? quality burnout ;)
how long did the gearbox last?  :D

Hey Alfie,

KILLER BURNOUT MAN!  Burnouts in a street car are just for fun and crowd pleasers anyway.  Alfie's is one of the best I've seen in a long time!

Rick M

Burnouts made no difference to my times at all. But it looks good  ;D

And the big one at the top was on an industrial estate (private property), on a very cold sunday for a photoshoot with no people around other than JG54 guys to run over  ;)

I wish Flenne would come out of the bush and show a couple of his versions. He does a MEAN burnout! And he has the power to play with the rpm during it. and skinny tyres are for p...., - well you know who :D

DAS guys laying some rubber on the street  :o ;D

 :o :o :o :o AWESOME!!!  8) 8) 8) 8)

What is it about burnouts that make me giggle like a school girl??  ;D

Sorry, this is the closest I could come up with on short notice! ;D

BUT! I do remember the OceanStreetVideo contest back when ... we had a lot of fun making that video ... check my avatar!
I remember teasing with Mr. Mortensen after posting about who was the clear winner ... remember Rick?
Well, I guess after all this time I might give him the edge since his was more spontaneous and in-the-moment, but for pure smoke and raw sound ... ??? We may need to have another contest! :o

If you look real close, it's kicking up a few blades of grass. :D

Hey Tom....I remember. Good to hear from you. My next burnout will be in my 2275 CHOP TOP. Not till this fall.

Rick M

Rick,
I'm on the same timeline with my next combination. If I get it going sooner, I'll post something. Otherwise, I'll look forward to the NEXT burnout contest! ;D LMAO!
Keep in touch and Take care.
Tom Funnell

Here's mine from Irwindale couple years ago.

Mike

Wow! I'd like to do that in the next race I join to scare the bejeesus out of the competition - rarely do they see a beetle race here let alone do a burnout like that...

Hey Mike welcome to the lounge , I may let you try that in my car when your over for EBI3 in a few weeks , that is of coarse if Ive got a gearbox by then  ;) ;D
 with Martin's slicks naturaly  :D Glenn

Mike! Welcome to the lounge!

I remember Keith doing that there in Keith Goss's old 62 chop at Pete's opening do  8), Trying to hold Randy Jewel's car with no line lock  ::) and then nearly run over Pete and Andy when they treid to hold my old orange crew cab while I was trying it , again with no line lock  ::) :o must have been about 12 years ago

Funny that, I was looking at the DAS burnouts and thinking 'fuck holding on to the car when it's doing a burnout'  :o

Yep broke my best pair of flip flops try to hold him back  ::) think I skined my big toe too  :'(

Glenn, there is no such thing as a "best pair of flip-flops"...  ::) ;D

Point taken  :D Seem to remember you doing dougnut's in the 62 too that day  8) but no reverse gear burn out's thow  ;)

So Martin Which of these so-called "street Cars" are really "street Cars" In your book?

Hey, if they have plates and a current license...they are a street car, right?

Rick M

Hi Sverker

I think Sven would of loved this subject

Mike

Here are a few old ones, my 59 from 1998 or?
(http://airspeedparts.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10002/normal_may15-09-red59-1.jpg)

and the old Coral car at the track....taken by Deano in 2005?

Here is a shot of the BERGLAR with Gary Berg driving.  We were at the 1996 Berg Cruise final destination at VW headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Gary was at the wheel in front of the VW Headquarters with Sally Eberle (VW Customer Service Rep) riding along. Gary left two deep impressions on the front drive of VW of America with the BERGLAR, forever leaving his mark.  Rick Zavala owned the car at this time but threw GARY the keys and said go for it.

This and many other things on this first cruise made for some great memories.

Rick M

Here is another angle of the BERGLAR doing the infamous VOA Headquarters parking lot burnout. You can see Sally Eberle (of VW of America) riding shotgun in the passenger seat. This was one ride she never forgot. As usual, the BERGLAR did not fail to entertain!

The pair of rubber marks on the ground in front of the BERGLAR were the one's I had just laid down with my TEAL GREEN 67 looker...Standing to the right front of the car is none other than Brother Doug Berg.

Rick Mortensen

Hi Mike

You bet. He just screem when I did this, with borrowed slicks.  ;)
He's always with me in my mind.
