That's what we used to call cutting donuts.  Also we didn't do on the street.  A burnout to us was smoking the tires for the whole quarter mile at the local dragstrip.   Never could get my little Fairlane to smoke the tires.  DOC Holliday

I don't care if it's called smoking donuts....I crack up everytime I see that nut in my minds eye trying to spin the back tire of a Schwinn! LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~

Doc
It used to be easy to smoke the tires on my 48 Chevy Fleetline.  An Olds Rocket V8 up front with a stick shifted Hydromatic was probably helping.  It had .100 milled off the heads and 1/8 inch larger valves, Cady intake and Hudson Hornet exhaust.  4 two barrel carbs on top.  A 4.11 rear end from a Pontiac completed the drive train.

I used to hunt Fords for sport.

Of the four food groups, veggie's were the burnout staple of choice... It was amazing the smell of burning rubber and a smoking potato or onion burnout... You'd swear someone was making french fries and onion rings! heh heh. It all started with the potatos in the tail pipes gag my buddy did to me, and then we decided to wedge a couple under the back tires of my 68 V8 351 Falcon, (yes, I crammed a 351 in a Falcon) and well...you know.

I was a twisted kid, what can I say.  n~

Clancy,

How did you manage to fit a Hudson Hornet exhaust manifold onto an Olds V-8?  Hudson only built- straight- 6 cylinder engines.  Their "Jet" model had a 4 cyl. in it.  The may have offered a straight eight at one time but I don't think so.

Had an old '58 Ford with the 352 "Police Interceptor" engine in it. I think that was the only year that the 352 was set up for 300HP. Gas milage wasn't too good.
