Very skilled driver in those tight quarters. Would have loved to see it in person, but I too would be hiding behind one of those trees.
he was cheating by getting his tires wet in the grass lol the only thing that would have made that video better was a high speed oil pan failure tk
That's where you find me, and even in that video, standing by one of the trees. I put my car in the ditch a couple years ago http://youtu.be/ylUPeTrNC0E It is one hell of a hot rod party and sadly I'll be missing it this year.
This is a pretty good video of the same coupe and 53 chevy (the guy riding shotgun in the ditch ride) both 4 speeds and getting a hot dog delivery while burning out....lol <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MWxAyRQA7lw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
hah ha ha, thats awsome.i know that maniac. he's from enfield NH, just up the road a piece. i bought my model a from Rob.
Maybe someone who is there could clarify but in the video it looks like the bystanders chose to watch this guy screw around. Yea they could have gotten hurt but it's there choice, I don't see why every burnout or donut video has to turn into a thread about how these cars should only be idled around town.

Awesome! I love to see some one flogging a beautiful car. Its great how it chirps them two more times as it drives away.
I see a repeat of that roof top donut thread coming on. Safety queens vs. reckless bastards. I'd be somewhere in between. Taking shelter, drinking a beer, watching every second of it.
I like having fun as the next guy does but tearing up the streets , grass and anything that was in his path is being a really stupid jerk ! Sorry for people that don't like my comment but when the cops start harassing you and anyone that lives near there you will just have to thank that guy for doing what he did to piss the cops off and start harassing all of you . People like that make it bad on the rest of us . As for ALL the DAMN STUPID people standing along the road and even in the road to take a damn picture is a total IDIOT ! That car was out of control more than one time and he was really lucky that no one got hurt form that stupid show ! A public street is NO place to be doing shit like that ! I have owned a lot of fast cars but I never torn a street up like that ! Sorry but there was no good reason to be doing that on any road ! Retro Jim
Amen brother, jerks try that shit at a cruse night around here, then next thing you no, is no more cruise nights etc. His car to treat as he wishes, but if it had happend at a cruise or show near me and my family there would have been words possibly more afterwards! But I do admit the video is neat to watch, but it just pisses me off a bit!
Remember when guys used to do big nasty burnouts at the Paso show? Right there on spring street in front of the hotel and a huge crowd! Many tickets were written in front of that hotel. But a few got away! It was always fun watching the drivers look left, then right, with a sheepish little grin on their face. Roast em, then whooooop, there goes the siren of the motorcycle cop. All the drunks would be screming at the cop. Come on man, were just having a little fun! It was always hillarious to see who was dumb enough to line up for a ticket.
Missing the point, this is what the Hardcore Happening IS about. This isn't some guy that just pulled his car out there and starting doing burnouts, well it is, but that is what this thing is about. This isn't some pansy panty wearing party, people come here for the sole reason of doing it, watching it or both. Oh yeah, the local sheriff has been know to come by and light them up as well as the neighbors. Like I said no panty wearing lawn chair sitters here or invited. One guy was trying to do 100 mph drive by's and was asked to leave, there is some order to the chaos. Here is an old link to the show http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=390379&highlight=hardcore+hot+rod+party
Kind of reminds me of the old "Pit Racers", at the old time motocross tracks, doing wheelies. We all thought they were assholes. If you really want to race get out there with 50 other guys and do it. That being said, really neat car.
Panty wearing. I run my 40, and I run it hard, but I save it for the strip at MoKan or other tracks. whooptie doo, the guy has a monster engine in a light car big deal!
This isn't a local cruise night or a good guys show though guys. This isn't downtown by the fuddruckers, this is a private event of guys who come to do this and watch this be done. I understand the outrage about les noyse or idiots at the local cruise, but this isn't that situation.
