Outta those 3 burnouts you can't beat American BB but, the Iraq burn out was really impressive because I noticed smoke off that back tire. Lol

American....impressive, yes. But still boring to watch.
European.....putting other lives in jeopardy because of their stupidity.
Iraqi...skill level above average. Not enough sound or smoke.
IMO, nothing beat the Aussies.

Nothing quite like burnouts at night - get to see the methanol burning! Fred Watson - from my home city in Perth and he travels all over the country doing this stuff( which is impressive in itself as Perth is on the other side of the country to where all the biggest events happen).

Shane, I have to wonder, how many spectators have been injured at those events? To go until the tires pop will send shrapnel everywhere. I have personally seen someone hit by a chunk of tire and it wasn’t pretty. Competitions I have been in, spectators are kept well away from any possible projectile path, which in our case is directly behind us. Drifting burnouts would be an entirely different deal. I also feel there would be a lot of skill involved to do this. Not any yahoo could go out there and do what they do.
I knew there were a few members from there on the site and was hoping someone would respond here. I admire y'alls car culture “down there” and hoping to get some first hand experience on this as to my knowledge, isn’t allowed here. Maybe you can start a thread on the interesting street cars there also?

I haven't heard personally of many injuries from flying tyres. My favorite event (that I haven't been to in some years due to living in a remote area until recently) has spectators reasonably close to the track however most bigger chunks are caught in the catch fence. Anyway getting covered in rubber is part of the experience :)

Them guys have been inhaling way too much tire smoke. Totally insane. But they sure can handle their cars.
