Derek, are we allowed to enter if we can only do one wheel ones. :lol:
Yes Chris, one wheel or two it dosen't matter, do you want to join in.
Could be fun, it would be in the van of doom. I have tyres that could be destroyed for a good cause 😁

Less of the when!!

Out of interest, if one holds the brake and sits on the loud pedal, how long can or should one sit there spinning just the one wheel? It seems to like it.

You will be basically toasting your rear brake Shoes and potentially over-heating and warping your Rear Drums unless you have a Line Lock fitted... or if you have sufficient power that you can do rolling burnouts without applying the Brakes.
