    Donuts

    So it was back in 1985 when I was 16 years old and me and my friends all owned big block chevy trucks, mine was a 1977 Heavy Half with a 454, my other two buddies had a 1971 chevy 3/4 ton with a 402 and the other guy had a 1979 chevy with a 454. It was the days of doing really stupid stuff, drag racing every friday and saturday night up on Central, hanging out until 3:00 in the morning at the midnight drags, and of coarse doing Donuts in any large parking lots we could find and maybe an intersection or two......

    So I got to thinking the other day and was like I haven't pulled a donut in more than 15 years!!!!!!!

    So when was the last time you cranked the wheels and hammered the gas and started spinning in circles??

    I've kind of got the itch, now if I can just find a nice parking lot.............

    Snow doesn't count IMO.

    Last time would've been '05, just after coming back from deployment. Had a friend with me on a cold, rainy night in Killeen, TX. Had a '01 Ram 5.9, decided I'd get it spinning. Ended up blowing the bead off the right rear tire...

    If we're not counting snow (and why are we not counting snow?! ) it was last summer.
    That which you manifest is before you.

    that place is as slicked as snow.

    the only turbo car I ever drove was down that way. 4cyl thunderbird...at factory hp it just ice rinked...then noticed it was happening to alot of people. Sun melting something or what?

    I am similar age as TC..

    I went about the same years no messing around.

    until I got a tiny subaru. The diffs locked up, and never knew what it was like to control all four spinning.Waited until a blizzard. lot to myself, ten inches of powder in the teens F, wind howling...that was fun.

    that was 3 years ago, have not done any since...and alot of year before then, I was boring driver.

    the early mid 90s was alot of horsing around....

    what time is it now? about a week ago I forgot something in the house so I did an ebrake turn but was going a bit fast so I did a 1 1/2. As for observations: the Buick doesn't donut as well as the GTO which is poor in comparison to the Studebaker (when it was a 4x4).
