You agree with the above comments, however you have some form of liquid under your tires in your burnout vid.

I have much less horse power and need the water.
Really I don't. I HATED the fact that somebody put water down before I did my burnout. I even drove past it but a certain intoxicated person poored out some liquid in front of one of my back tires. Part of me is glad that burnouts at chevelle-abration are frowned upon now.http://www.westcoastoutlaws.com/video.htmlwow just slam the guy geez. he was just havin some fun in an isolated area.
i have 747 hp on a verry stingy dyno and i can destroy a set of hides at a rolling 70mph run in drive. i should mention thats a 275/40/18 tire f1 eagle so its not huge . the motor is mike lewis built in a 69 camaro so it dont weigh much eaither. 55 K sounds like he got off cheap. scroll down on the link page to elcamino in sacramento and watch the video

Starting a burnout on dry pavement with good tires can sometimes cause wheel hop. I know of a guy that had his car at a burnout contest. He started the burnout with no water and broke a 35 spline Strange axle. It was a back half 65 Chevelle with 14-32 ET Streets. I didn't see the show, but I did see the axle. Snapped at the spline.

Welcome to the world of car rebuilding/restoration. None of us get nearly as much back as we put in most of the time. Putting 2-3x as much into a car as it will be worth when done is par for the course.
I burned out w/ my Hoosier DOT's a few weeks ago on dry pavement and the line lock wouldn't hold. Don't get me wrong, I blew the tires off w/ ease but it started pushing the front tires right away.
Anyway, maybe that's the reason for the water. I didn't think the video was that bad...sheesh tough crowd lol.

Not alway's though. I restored a 71 Chevelle at a cost of $28,000.00. The only thing I farmed out was the paint labor, and renting a down draft booth at a cost of $5,000.00. Oh and the machine work for the engine. I won many awards, and raced the crap out of that car. After three years I sold it for $37,000.00. The current owner is still driving it and loves it. I believe if it is done right there is no reason you can't get all your money back and then some. The only thing you may not get back is your labor. But who cares, Its all fun. Thats why we do it.
I've seen this car many times. i live close to where the sik industires shop is and also the owner works at wheeltech in santa clara. The first time I saw the car I was working downtown San Jose, and at about 1:00 am there was a massive traffic jam with trucks and trailers. Then i saw a flat bed tow truck with this chevelle on it. The show was a chopper and bike show but they entered the car with a matching bike. The licence plate i think reads alcohal. and the car does have a hood. The interior is very nice too when you see it with your own eyes. I believe it has wheelie bars on it too.
