years ago, they used to use chlorine under the tires of the dragsters so it would flame up when they lit them up. Its a little slicker than water so the tires spin easier and the flames are awesome.

If your just learning try a little laundry Detergent, it is slick as hell and you will be ready next time your in front of a retirement home on a gold wing poker run. Don't ask I was tricked! ha but the oldies were impressed

Heck I learned a lot here:

1. Frontal labotamy needed to do this
2. Need lots of money
3. Warm up engine first
4. Better if rear tire is due to replace
5. 1 Sec burn = 1000 miles of wear (under dispute)
6. PT's version requires exact timing (something about an EVO an body weight)
7. Tire in water or chlorine better result (possibly flames)
8. Garage floor ideal very slippery
9. Holding front brakes is cheatin
10. Don't do em in Motorcycle Saftey Class
11. Sporty's are more apt to pullin a wheelie
12. Donuts are where its at!
13. Most important check with your local LEO first to see that its OK!

Who says these threads aren't informative!

It's your garage, What the hell can the law say ? I'd have told them to mind their own business! As I reminded them they were trespassing
