Burnout contests

There was a burn out contest right up the street from me a few years back. That part of town was closed to through traffic for the car show in progress. Contest went on, smoke was emitted, all were entertained :lol:. A few days later one of the county road maintenance guys drove that section of street and noticed something different in the road surface. :wtf: Upon further inspection they found that the activity had put 50 years worth of wear on the road surface in the matter of one hour :lol:. I saw for myself there were sets of tracks 12" wide by 100' long by 1" deep in the asphalt :lol:. County Roads Dept was not happy :lol:.


I’ve seen events where they have laid down 3/4-1 inch steel plate to prevent damage.
