Whats the point of burning out?
This topic is abit annoying to me. I know burning out looks cool and all but what exactly is the point of this? To show torq...????
Seems to me that you would just be eating away your tire for a quick 2 second glimpse by on-lookers....

Chad is correct. The purpose of performing a burnout is the get your tires to their optimum temperature for traction. It also cleans them off (stones and debris).
Of course, there are those who do burnouts just for kicks. [shrug]
