Amazing. I'm constantly amazed at the dumbass stuff we do as an
"enlightened" species

That's what happens when you lock up the wheels with a lot of brake peddle, and you go right ahead and dump the clutch at 4,000rpm in a torquey corvette....something's gotta give.
I guess that's more like $2,000.....and he still needs a $600 pair of rear tires....what a door knob.

All the gear and no idea.....
For a better example of lighting them up - our very own Bjorn Arnils at Longleat Hillclimb. (wonders of a line-lock too :thumbsup

Excellent summary Keith - just love your technical description....
ps - thank god you're not writing avionics software for the multiple processor flight-control systems many modern aircraft use...
On a similar vein though - someone mailed me this link
YouTube - Brett Stevens Burnout 4-3-07
which is one 'proper burnout' for sure.. although from the accompanying comments it would appear the gentlemen in question may also have been somewhat 'high' at the time..... oops!
Oh and he must have a seriously good radiator on that Ute...

Anyone notice the camera man stepping in front of the car while this is going on? Now that is a brain dead activity. The Darwin Award comes to mind.

Anybody who can't distinguish the difference between the smell of burning rubber, and burning friction material needs to resort to public transportation.
Hey Paul... believe it or not, by virtue of the fact I trained as a journalist on the (original) Daily Express Fleet Street at the tender age of 15, somebody in the Environmental Testing Dept of the Louis Newmark Aircraft Division in Purley Way Croydon, decided that at the tender age of 17, I was the fit and proper person to act as Technical Clerk to the Chief Designer(s) of..... the Automatic Pilot System for a new Military Airrcraft for the UK codenamed the SH-3D. I had the thankless (and quite awesome) task of translating their scribbled notes into viable and logically progressed environmental testing regimes. At 17 with no formal training! Ye Gods, I can hardly find my way to the pub these days.
Anyway, I promise a New Years Gift of Champagne for the first UK guy to come back on here and tell me which aircraft this was. Hint: I do not believe we ever lost one to "accident or malfunction" but David M would know better. I am quite, no bloody proud of the fact that there's a bit of me in each one. Yes, they are still out there - but not many now.
Bring it on....
Don't Google- use your brains...
Jack! You bugger! Of all the US guys it had to be you - and you knew you were going to be right here at a pub near me in just a few months. Rats. But you win and you will drink champage with me (if you'll let me have a glass)
Come on, 'fess up, how did you get that so quick?
PS I only said UK because I am too much of a cheapskate to pay freight to the US.
You got me brother, you got me...

Sorry Keith (and as it's already been answered) I used Google for specifics as it was 'before my time' :laugh: although the 'SH' prefix gave it away really.
Whilst Googling, came across this interesting site with a lot of early Flight magazine info - one of which listed your early employer..

Varied career you've had I suspect....
