My experience with a Blown Alcohol Altered with 125" WB says that you need a lot of room to do a burnout or a start. With a 100" AA/FA, you need 40 acres . . Over the years I've watched as the AA/FA's were run in classes and then had their own, eventually becoming match racing shows . . which were fun and exciting (to say the least), but you really wondered why anybody (with the exception of Willy Borsch) would get in one of the damned things more than once . .
And "Progress" hasn't done anything to make 'em go straight. even 2000 HP in something that short and light makes them, to say the least, "Unweildy" . .
So a burn out on a 16' wide road was a bad idea to start with. Around trees and a ditch? Almost a death wish . .
