Car won't go...please help

I pull out on the road and hit the gas, but all that happens is a lot of tire smoke. What could be the problem?

trickster i think you only looked at half the answer. locked brakes would also cause a lot of tire smoke

I think he would have noticed locked brakes pulling out onto the road.

Hey guys, I was tired last night and feeling a bit sarcastic. I have the stock rear in the thing still, so it won't get any traction.

I was just laughing about it and thought I'd post something stupid.
