What is the purpose of doing a burnout?
So, why do burnouts? Well, it's not just for the 'wow' factor or for showing off what your wheels can do, though that's a pretty rad bonus! Burnouts are primarily used in drag racing to heat up the tires, giving them better grip and traction for the actual race. This way, your car doesn't just skid around like a dog chasing its tail on a linoleum floor. So, next time you see someone doing one, you can say, "Aha! Warming up the tires, are we?" with a knowing wink. Now, who said learning about cars can't be fun?
