What's the consensus on burnouts?

Getting approval or cooperation from local PD has got to put our hobby in a good light. They may also have helpful suggestions on where or how to conduct such an event. PD presence at the event might might be good PR for everyone. This could be good for the whole community. Do this with safety in mind. Angles I like are straight line shots imitating drag racing, were-as donuts remind me of drifting which a different but cool thing. Good luck, this could be very nice!
