Dude, that s*** was low class. You're going to ruin the show for everyone. If that stuff keeps up they aren't going to let us keep doing this show there.![]()

Huh, All I know is that I saw a truck do a burnout at a stop sign and immediately get pulled over. Along with quite a few other people.
All I know is that stuff like that, to me, reflects poorly on the Vw community and scene. Along with all the stuff being stolen.

I went to Cruiser weekend in Ocean City, MD because I couldn't make SoWo this year, and there were numerous burnouts and other shenanigans, that's just part of a car show, VW, import, or domestic. To say it reflects badly on the VW scene is wrong;; actions like those make car guys look bad, not just fans of one particular marque.
#6
any idea what the deal was with those kids in the rio that had a giant hole in its rear window?
#7
I just wanna know who the girl in that lifted silverado was LOL
And people take the burnout thing way too seriously.... Why would the town kick us out for it when every citation is $700?? ****, they probably bank off of the retards doing burnouts and such. Atleast nobody was out street racing or anything like that...
Basically, as long as nobody is damaging any cars but their own I don't see the harm. If they get pulled they'll have to pay for it, if they don't they just cook down their tires... The rubber wears off the pavement with time and the city makes a ton of money at a time of year they're probably not too busy.. So people should chill the f out and post burnout videoslol
#8
i myself participated in the burning of tires. it was the black mk2 coupe. i left a mark all the way down the street! btw your corrado sounds sick.
on that note did anyone get any photos of my coupe? it's nothing special but i would love to see some rolling shots, parked, just anything. it may not be bagged and on a set of rotiform or bbs, but i built it all myself minus the widening of the steelies...![]()
#9
my buddy did a burnout... in his mk2 gti vr6 and helen pd gave him some citations lol ehhh its all part of the fun.
COOLWATER VW CLUB stop the hating be our friend! :heart

While I don't personally participate in such activities (can't beat on my daily like this), my wife and I sat outside Country Inn and were quite entertained. You, sir have a badass Corrado. This may not seem like the safest thing in a street like this, but if it wasn't you, it would've been someone else we sat and watched. Thanks for the entertainment! The cops seem to have cleared the place out just before 1am, so we went inside... Did it pick back up later? I too would like to see some videos from that night.

It's a safety issue, I'm sure most of you can safely control your cars... but god forbid someone lose it and hit a spectator walking around on the sidewalk. One serious car related injury and I can pretty much guarantee that Hellen will never host this show again. Also, you need to think about the volunteers who host and organize this event, they may not be contractually liable for damages... but you never know how this kind of stuff could rebound on to them. Regardless of the potential harm it could cause, it's unnecessary... the show's organizers don't want you to do it and I think the least you could do to pay them back for their hard work is cooperate.

i was told to do a burn out while someone walked with a small child on the side of the road. Lets keep things safe people
Your car sucks, and we have a team of experts working around he clock to prove it.

The E92 M3 convertible driven by the Asian man and his crew of puppies certainly made my SoWo when he left the thickest rubber of the night. With the blue lights flashing.![]()
Not one given.

No pics of burnouts, there is a time and place for everything that was neither the time nor the place.![]()
#17
burnouts are all apart of actually liking to drive your car. why have power if you don't use it?
I was in the bagged grey mk5 gti w/rs' scraping my frame for quick limbo and burning my tires as well. It's all good fun![]()
#20
If anyone ever puts the pics up in my thread about the friday rafting, I may put up what (crappy) videos we took of the burners.![]()

The cops were kind of passive until a bottle was thrown at a truck driving by. I don't really care for them, but there really is no way to avoid them. The cops did what they had to. If getting some ridiculous $$$ ticket for doing one isn't deterrent enough I'm not sure what would keep people from doing them.
What disgusted me was all the trash that was left when the cops finally broke things up. I cleaned up what I could, since I was staying in one of the condo's on the street where all the burnouts were occurring. The city of Helen was kind to allow us to use their city for our event, yet we repay them by trashing it...
#24
yeah, the cops were really passive about it and put up with us. They gave a few tickets, it's their job but they let many, many people go away. I saw them laughing about it and enjoying the show.
My friend and I were staying in the same condo and noticed the thrash. I think that I saw you picking it upbut they city needs to provide more trash cans around town for events like this. Not excuse for people littering though.
It was fun and don't mind the burnouts at all as long as people are aware and cautious. It's part of the show and happens everywhere, no need to get purist about it. Why would someone spend thousands of dollars upgrading their engines if you're not going to run them? Against the law? yeah but what's not. We're all playing our cards and that's human behavior... I think.
Anyway, this thread was about burnout videos, anymore videos?![]()

Damn there's so many people whining in all these threads. Stop being hypocrites.
Go to a car show and don't expect burnouts? I'm sure you go to concerts and expect people not to be intoxicated either...

There are so many things wrong with this. I'd expect a statement like this to come out of the mouth of a 16 year old who just started driving.
Feel free to do burnouts all you want on private property, but downtown Helen is probably one of the worst possible places I think you could pick. It is indeed all in good fun but still, use your ****ing head. Go find a place not completely packed with people to do it if you must do it on the road.
Or god forbid, go to a track day and actually use the tires.
It's not whining, its just not ignorantly and blatantly disobeying the law.
I'm honestly surprised other members/the organizers let you guys get away with it. Most every other show/motor sports event... this kind of shenanigans gets you kicked out and banned.
Besides, its not like there wasn't a huge rural mountain drive where you could have pulled off on a side road and burned your tires to your hearts content. In a context like this you'd probably have a whole boatload more badass pictures and videos of said shenanigans, while keeping it as safe as possible on a public road.
*I do find it amusing that people will complain about others stealing their valve stem caps and centercaps while still turning a totally blind eye to people doing burnouts in a crowded downtown area with people and families walking around. THAT, my friend, is being a hypocrite.

1. If you're going to do burnouts, do it on your own time, in secluded areas, so if you fail, you're the only one hurt or *gasp* at a track where *gasp* it's encouraged or *gasp* at a car show with burnout competitions.
2. After seeing that video of a VRT and its weak ass burnout, I'm shocked the cops weren't laughing at you kids more than trying to give you tickets. I've done better burnouts in a 4 speed 1990 Nissan Sentra.
Sad thing is, I didn't make it this year, but I do keep track of what happens at these events because well... I like to know where ****'s going down. So glad the crew I roll with absolutely refuse to stay near the... what I would compare to "white trash" part of the VW community. Because in all essence that's how the children doing burnouts, stealing, and vandalizing are acting.
Still looking forward to coming next year though. Missed my Dragon fix this year![]()
