how long can i burnout for?

so im getting new tires in a couple of days when they come in and i might as well have some fun with them before i throw them away. how long of a burnout do you think i can do and still be able to make it down to discount tire. they just made it to the tread bars.

Do it in Discounts's parking lot, then you have no issues!

True or not, you certainly can shread a tire, and it certainly can damage a bed side or something. Also, your putting a lot of heat into your motor, and not a lot of cooling air by it. Carefull. With that said....Last party I had at my house, I thought at 2am everyone in my neighborhood would think it was neat if I did a 2 min burnout at the end of my street, then walked it up the street, did 2 donuts in the intersection, back down the street (still spinning) and back into the garage! I've only got two neighbors that still talk to me!!!!

I have driven a late model race car and did a burn out long enough to have to flaming piles of rubber, but no big chunk to the gas tank and Kaboom!

Had a buddy do one with an old monte carlo SS until the tires blew.

IF anything, put a fan in front blowing air into the engine and let her rip!

One way or another, PICTURES at least, if not a video!

HI!... If you have electric cooling fans then there is no cooling issues. Trust me, I know. I didn't "GLAZE" my rear brakes, I didn't blow a tire...................

I've seen a video where a Camaro burned out for so long that his rear discs started glowing red until one of them started a fire. They got it out, but it was pretty intense for a few moments.
