Great pics, Will!
Didn't even know the Klassik was on. Obviously, not in Kitchener anymore.
Porsche was well represented...nice.

If you've ever wondered what the kids are up to when they borrow the car.....

After the near miss a few years ago that almost took Clive's "face for a radio" head off, they still allow burnouts like this? Did you see any kamikaze drones this year?

It wasn't an open burnout. Only the one car. And no more drones.

That's a "closed" burnout? There are people all our and on the car. One moron is holding the back with a rope. When a tire comes apart at that speed, it will fly for a pretty good distance.

Were people without beards welcome?

Neat pics, but I'm not sorry I missed it.

Closed meaning it was one selected/sponsored sacrifice car.

The public was not invited to do the same with their own personal cars as it was in the past.

The driver set the parking brake, a bunch of guys held the tow strap more for effect than anything and the car was loaded down with people.

As you can see, park security was there to monitor the event.
Have you never been young and foolish?

Of course I have been young and foolish.....I'm still foolish but this is idiotic. What exactly will security do when something goes out of control during that burnout? This is a professionally organized large public event and public safety must be paramount. Just look what the disenegrated tire did the the fender. Have a chunk fly off and take a bystander's head off or their kid'shead off......and then what? I do all my stupid $hit away from bystanders.
