Video: Monster Burnout Leaves Flaming Strips of Rubber

We have written at length about the art of the burnout, from the best ways to blow billowing clouds of smoke to how not to crash your expensive Viper truck while peeling out. Some things you just can’t teach though, and often the coolest moments happen with no planning or preparation. Thankfully, we live in an age where hand-held video cameras are a dime a dozen, so awesome moments like the following burnout are captured and cataloged for posterity.

This video now has over 300,000 hits, surely appeasing the owner of the classic Impala Mike Proctor, who literally burned rubber and left dual trails of smoldering tire tracks.

We’ve seen plenty of burnouts, with smoke quite literally obscuring the car doing the tire shredding. Mike’s Impala definitely has the torque to do that, as he lights the tires up and smoke quickly covers the car, everything nearby. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? But then, something amazing happens, and we wonder if Proctor isn’t a mad scientist with a time-traveling DeLorean hidden in a garage somewhere.

As Mike peels out down the road, he leaves two strips of flaming rubber behind him. Literally, rubber, on fire, in the middle of the road. For a burnout that lasted just ten seconds, this redonkulous Impala left a ridiculous amount of flaming rubber on the road. The flames briefly follow the Impala down the road, but it takes a man with a coat to beat the fire out before the next car can do a burnout. That’s a hard act to follow for sure. Have you ever literally set the road on fire?
