Sorry, you'll have to find it there. There are only two pics so it isn't a problem. The file is too big to attach here and I don't know how to convert it or drop the size.

By the way, I'm not done with this yet. I'm probably going to keep trying stupid things like this until I get some damn colored smoke. So, if I'm doing anything wrong or you have some tips, please let me know.

I'm going to compare some fog machine fluid vs clorox bleach this weekend also. See what throws up more smoke. (The fog juice probably won't do crap.)

jello still sounds weird to me, we call it jelly.

how about red poster paint powder, would that work, or would it just make a mess??

actualy, thinking about it, bad idea, it would probably stain paintwork.

Well any new pictures?!?

I think that you would have to use one full canister. Maybe even two, you gotta think that the smoke is taking up the air.

the bleach has a high acidity level, and itll nutralize most koolaids etc. i have used bleech for burnouts in my car, and it gets real hot real quick, and i actually spun my tires alot, and no rubber got stuck to my car...and all the bleech turned to smoke.

Not lfaming or anything, but actually bleach (aka liquid chlorine or sodium hypochlorite) is basic with a pH of about 13 (12.8 to be exact). About the only thing my AFO cert is good for.....

How much does a line lock cost? Where can I get it? Easy or hard to install? Where does it get installed? If you guys have the option of a line lock, why would you put all this stress on your car by powerbreaking? Do all the cars that are built for drag racing use line locks, when they do their burn-out before their pass? -89IRO

Cool, thanks man. These things are used for drag racing so they don't roll in the staging lanes with a stick car, but do the racers also use it to do their burnouts? Another words, does it hold the front brakes stong enough to do a full on burnout, plus to hold them at the line? Thanks. -89IRO

yea racers use them they will hold ur brakes on till you want them to go off or 10,000 or more psi goes against them funny cars dont use them because i think they're illegal in those stages and they have so much power they dont need them. you can use them anywhere you want but in the bleach box you shouldnt have to use them cuz the beach is there for you to slide

Use a dark color so that it will show up in the smoke better. Get a few packs (the little ones, not the stuff with the sugar mixed already) and mix it with a little water and put it in front of the tires. Then do you're burnout and it'll scoot into the kool aid. Don't use bleach though, it'll break down the kool aid.

If you want to try it, listen to their advice. No bleach, LOTS of powder, get the stuff without sugar. Darker colors (or contrast) will be easier to see. I recommend the darkest red.

I tried it a few times with different mixtures, and the above is the only way that I didn't try it. It was never successful.

I used 1/3 of a canister of red (not the darkest, though) and just some water to let it spin and "mix" easier. It had sugar in it though, but I don't think it'd be a noticable difference without it. Saw nothing but white.

I doubt this idea will ever work with koolaid or jello powder. Maybe if you had some type of colored oil.... Either way, good luck and POST PICTURES!!

Laters,
Scott

Why not just use water instead of bleach, then if you have extra left over and you're thirsty, drink up. Hell, put some vodka in it. Hmmm....college kids

You can't use bleach becasue it will eat up the kool-aid. As far as the vodka goes, I hope you're not driving anywhere after that...

No, the bleach will eat up the color in it. Somewhere in the thread me and another guy talked about that, but i'm not sure where.

COME ON GUYS READ THE FRICKIN' POST, I SAID WATER AND KOOL-AID, WATER AND KOOL-AID. Ok, a little quiz for ya', what did TonyC say:

1) Water and Kool-aid (then maybe some vodka to be funny)
2) Bleach and Kool-aid, which we already know DOESN'T WORK
3) M&M's, just the red ones

I thought we were the literate thirdgen crowd
