which speed rating is that xp 2000? the regular 2000 has high utqg treadwear number and rubber is pretty hard.....

Is it hard to get all that rubber off of the paint?

[EquatorHeat00]

Do you have line locks? Hope so, and isnt that hard on the transmission, and rear.

You still have that much rubber left? Man, you need to learn how to do a burnout

After my burnout video, I too had a bunch of rubber melted onto the paint. A pressure washer got some of it off, but the rest was impossible to remove. This weekend I was finally able to simply scrub it off with a wash mit. I guess time will eventually allow the rubber to kinda dry out enough to the point where it becomes brittle. I guess wait it out a month or two? Im sure someone else will have a better suggestion than time.

The old drag racer trick is to wipe down the lower half of the rear quarters with a rag sprayed with Armor All before you start racing or do burnouts. At the end of the night, you can literally wipe the rubber off with a Kleenex if you want.

For existing rubber, I've always used WD40 and let it soak in. This is also helpful for removing the glue residue left by stickers and pinstripes, and for getting bug guts off the nose of your car.

My co-worker borrowed the T/A several years ago and ended up doing a huge burnout He ended up melting the asphalt at the rear tires...which ended up spewing super hot rubber chunks on the bumper. I couldn't get it out because it was literally melted on some areas. Luckily, I just got a brand new bumper painted and will install it soon.

i have just found this photo on the net of my car just after i finished the burn out. this is the text that is printed above the photo on the guys site
I tried to get a picture of this burn out but you couldnt see the car! He got second place though, hotly contesting for the first place - was a very close call


i have a movie of the burn out who is the best person to ask to host it for me?
