I'm pretty sure Coil told him (Force) he was being too hard on the blowers doing those long foggers.

Was it Dean Skuza or KC Spurlock that was the burnout king ?

Best burnout I have seen personally is John Force, after locking up the championship at Pomona in '98 or '99 ... all the way to the 1000 Ft cones and coasted out past the finish line ... crowd went BONKERS, myself included.
My Dad said he once saw Jungle Jim do a burnout at a match race at Edgewater in Cincinnati that was so long he turned off the track and came back up the return road to stage the car!!!

As a kid in the mid 70's I remember Jungle doing a real long burnout up at Cayuga in Canada and turning the car around at the top end and driving back to the starting line to turn around again. Great show. But I really miss Force's long burnouts from the 90's. I understand how abusive they probably were to the equipment, but I miss them nonetheless. Like I miss dry hops.
I believe he would be disqualified if he coasted out past the finish line on a burnout.

Jeffery,
Back in the day, guys would turn around at the 1000 foot mark, turn into each other's lane, drive back in the opposite, lane, then line up in the lane they started... DQ? As If... it was part of the show 6 nights a week.
Ya'll that have ONLY seen a 'National Event' have no idea what you've missed

I remember one interview where Austin was asked if the long burnouts were a problem for him, tune-up wise. Austin replied that it made no difference to him, as long as John did the same thing every time.
That was a few years ago, so things have probably changed since then, including fuel and tire costs.
Who????
Some old guy the youngsters may not have heard of but you may be familiar with him!!!
