There was a guy that rolled up and stood on the throttle no brakes and did a burnout there. He almost wrecked the car doing it to as he lost control.
Most modern cars can't do a really good smokey burnout as easily as you think. a 70 buick had rear drums ans skinny tires with a huge torque engine so smoke shows would a piece of cake. The sticky tires of todays cars and strong disk brakes can actually stop many cars form doing them. Heck there was a vette there with massive brake upgrades. He could barley get the tires to spin because the brakes were soo good on the car.. lol. Line Lock would be the best mod for easy burnouts.
Here is the compilation video form the open house!

I was there on and off during the day. It was a good time! There was soo much rubber laid down I went back on sunday to get some test and tune launching on the slicks and getting data logs.. lol.
that LS1 powered 3rd gen TA is such a nice car. Super clean install on it. That guy ports Throttle boddies too. I almost bought one of his TB's but I ended up just porting my own and then tuning afterwards.
