Are Burnouts Good or Bad For Your Classic Car?


In short, burnouts can be good for your classic car, depending on what you intend to do with your car once it's fixed up. For instance, if you plan to drag race competitively, a proper burnout can remove foreign matter from your tires that might be collected while rolling around in the pits.

A Few Important Factors To Keep In Mind When It Comes To Burnouts...


  • Burnouts are illegal if done on public property, so if you're going to do a burnout there is a correct time and place for doing so. It's not worth getting a ticket over.
  • If the burnout is done poorly, you could lose control of your car. Weight distribution, tire pressure, the type of differential your car has, the type and condition of the tires, and your ability to control the throttle all play a part in how you control your car. 
  • Air pressure difference between the two drive tires can cause one tire to grip more than the other, which could cause you to lose control if you're not doing a standing burnout.
  • When doing a burnout, place your car in first gear, push the clutch in all the way, and give it some gas. As long as you have your clutch in all the way you shouldn’t move until you release it. Rev those RPM’s to ensure your tires are hot so when you release the clutch you should burn a lot of rubber. When you are ready to stop the burnout, take your foot off the accelerator.
