      Tip to people looking for cheap installation, if the tire installer is too stupid, bead damage can occur. I have seen similar at dragstrip, bead contains a steel cable and if it breaks, you can be dead! Or buying body work/glass!

      I cannot believe people do this crap....you've got spectators (women and little kids) standing behind a piece of tape only feet away from that tyre.....guess the guy and the organisers didn't think about the lawsuits and negligence charges that would arise after you took off little Johnny's head with half a tyre carcass.

      I've always thought burn-out comps were pretty darned lame, but thats one of the dumber things I've seen.

      Cheap tire + burnout competition = Fail.
      When it's all said and done, he's not the first to cause this kind of carnage in a burnout contest.

      So do you think he called the insurance man and told him someone ripped off his tire and broke out his rear window.

      I hate to pigeon hole him, but from the looks of the car, I'm sure he only has liability!

      So, a busted belt in the bead caused this?

      What a moron......

      The tire was a bald worn out one (look at the tread on the back of the car), the moron let the car shift through the gears and when it hit high gear he dropped the hammer to the floor which the tire let go when a wheel speed of 150 mph was reached (you just know that is a 2.73 geared TBI Camaro). Overspeed of and worn out POS cheap tire that was being overheated......it failed catastrophically who would have thunk it? Automotive Morons at their best.

      I noticed it was a peg-leg rear end and the left tire wasn't spinning. The right tire would be spinning at twice the speed shown on the speedo, so 150 mph could be a conservative guess. I'll bet the tire wasn't even rated for a 100mph.
