Burnout Contest

Ok, Im wondering How hard it would be to remove about 1/2" of rubber from my fenderwalls? I was out cruising Thursday and noticed abunch of mustangs, camaros, and s10s siting at the end of a large Menards parking lot, right by the street. Long story short, I came in second place, smoking out a supercharged extreme and a 1993 cobra. I got beat by a 2001 WS6. Anyway, what is best way of getting melted rubber off my fenderwells? Oh, while were on subject, post any pictures you have of you guys doing a burnout. Ill see What I can do. Later.

a hose and a scrub brush usually does the trick.

Maybe use a putty knife or a gasket scraper.

first spray WD-40 on the rubber it makes it real soft and it turns to goooop then use a putty knife

I put my winter tires on the back, which are p235/ 55 r16, because I got about 6 more for free ( tread on them is about 60%). I brake torqued it for about 45-50 sec, ending up in 2nd gear. It was bad ****, my interior still smells like rubber! But that sucks. Thanks for the tips guys.
