bleach burnouts!!!!

I have seen quite a few really awesome bleach burnouts, mostly by fords, I was wondering does it hurt your tires more to burn out with bleach, or what, and why does the bleach smoke so much, i love it!

Bleach oxidizes rubber faster, thats why you see the brilliant white smoke. You probably won't have to worry about it if you do a lot of burnouts.

yeah, but its the same rate as weather checking the tires, it breaks down rubber.

One time one of my friends spilled a little puddle of power steering fluid on the asphault and burned out on it with his Fairlane. It sat there spinning in a clould of white smoke. Pretty cool. It probably wasn't a good idea though, because it could have caught fire. Oh well!

With the right setup you won't need the bleach.Have you seen any Nascar victory burnouts lately?

Yes, doing burn outs in a lubricant is not a good idea. Once, in band camp, oh sorry......... this guy did a burn out with STP Oil Tx on his tires for the effect. The effect was awsome. He burned off the oil and hooked up. The carnage was sweet, and total.

ATF has also been proven to be good for smokey burn offs. But, IMHO, if ya can't do it with raw horsepower alone, then what's the point.

I remember, when I was a kid, smoking my tires at the railroad tracks. I'm not quite sure what all the stuff was, but it made for one heck of a smoke show.

I was called the king of smoke shows by the local law. I had a windsheild washer setup in my trunk with a hose to each wheel well and the bottle filled with bleach. I would set the line lock get'em smokin turn on the pump and spray it on the hot tires.

I thought it was really cool when I was doing that in front of a friends house just to show off. It was cool right up to the time the rear end exploded. If you want to show off, be prepared to pay the price to fix what you break.
