I don't mind people doing a burnout during a launch, but there was one event
I was at and this SP'd Porsche co-driver spun a little bit more than I
thought they should pulling up to the staging line.

I probably wouldn't have cared except I heard tiny bits of gravel
reverberate against my non-trailer queen, shiny-daily driver, buffed and
waxed rio red paint.  Ouch!  Can we get a lesson in clutch modulation over
here?
