That much power and didn\u2019t know what to do with it? Therefore American Sunday provided also the Burn-out madness. This section where competitors are judged on; The Burn-out duration (At least 3 minutes continuous burning tires without blowing them up),\u00a0\u00a0cars presentation during burn-out and of course the sound the car made during the burn-out. Unfortunately, there wasn\u2019t much interest from the American muscle community, therefore the imports class competing for the burn out championship give the spectators what they came to see, white smoke and the smell of burning tires. Did you already spot the blown tire in the smoke? Well, look again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
