Carnage Video: Camaro Ripped Open Like a Tin Can by a Tire ExplosionBy Brian Lohnes Posted 02/18/10
Imagine you innocently enter a sanctioned burnout contest and end up totalling your third-gen Camaro without ever moving an inch. That's what happened to this guy, and his car suffered the most extreme damage we've ever seen from a tire explosion during a burnout. Usually a tire pops and maybe the tread slaps the sheet metal a little, but this thing plowed through the back of the car like a Sherman tank.
Really, you need to see this. It might open the eyes of some burnout contest promoters as to the dangers of people standing so close to the action.

Hey thats my video!!!! My buddy Nick was smoking the "tire" in a burnout contest after a Poker Run in Yankton, SD a few years back. I said "that really sucks but its the coolest thing Ive ever seen". After that no more one wheel wonders were allowed to compete. The worst part he didnt even win :D :D.
