I don't think it'll be a problem for your paint--unless you do it in gravel or hit something!

Yeah, the worst you can do is leave a fine coating of tire dust on your paint. That's why cars always seem to come back from the track all dusty and gritty. All those little particles of burnt rubber floating around in the air.

MMMM......I love the smell of horsepower in the morning........

No, as long as you dont twist your car or nothing, the paint will be fine. Dont worry about fishtailing.

Twist the car? What do you mean wrap it around a pole? Naa.. not me I wont do that. I was just thinking from what the rain washes up off the ground that if you burn around long enough like this you might start seeing rock chips behind the tires.
