Flame Burnout - UK Style!

So it's about time I dove right back into the HAMB.......was a regular lurker a few years ago and pretty much lived in the drag cars in motion thread. Now finally looking to buy myself a hot rod, so where better than here?!

Anyway, I also drive a 1934 Ford fuel altered. For an end of season thing we decided to perform a flame burnout last car down the track at Santa Pod for the season so it seemed pretty fitting.

SO, pictures, we all love pictures!

Yikes!! Thats more flaming than the crossdressers at drag nite at the Max nite club here in town. I guess the guys have their own drag racing schedule, strokes for folks. That's enough of that talk, welcome back to the information hiway for serious trad custom and hot rod folks. Your 34 is a knock out brother. ~sololobo~

 

how is that done?

 

Nice one....good to see Dom's pictures....

 

By setting fire to the flammable liquid poured on the track....watch the video clip

 

Slightly off topic.......

About a gallon of petrol

Never bad to pimp Dom's photos he's one of my best mates lol and now housemate

Wooow!!That looks realy cool. Just not for me I ain't got the balls to set myself on fire

 

Love it!

 

My dumbass would panic, end up stalling, then dying in a blaze of idiotic glory.

 

Amazing pics. Never seen it.

 

Hidden Valley Dragstrip, Darwin Northern Territory.

MAD is the rider, now known for his jet powered Blitz truck.

This was early days. This guy is a legend.

 

Wow!

 

That was fuckin stupid.

 

Thats one to send to the insurance company for a quote.

 

... in a GOOD sorta way , IMHO !

 

Haha thanks for the comments guys to be honest there was no danger, Santa Pod's safety crew is easily on par with the NHRA safety safari, just a case of wait for it to be lit get the signal, drop the clutch and burnout as usual.

 

Heres how the Aussies do it... I think they have you beat...
