If you were doing a brake stand for your burnout you may very well have induced
a kind of a "LSD" action to break both tires or alternating tires free (it's an
old wheelin' trick). The rear drums will control or put resistance on the
spinning wheel and allow the same amount of power to go to the other wheel.
The downside is you may need to replace your rear pads in a little while. ;-)
That's all I can think of unless it was just a fluke.... Hmmmm... Fluke... I
just ordered one of those the other day, but I digress. hehehe

Ya know whats crazy???

my none LSD Dakota (93) has started spinnin btoh wheels on regular pavement,
it used to be jsut the right rear, but now both are spinnin, a guy didn;t
think my Dakota could do a burnout, so I got the right tire facing him, adn
light em up, much to my surprise, smoke was rising from both sides, downside
is I turned my head (OK body) adn also the steering wheels, so the truck
started going left/right, it was ultra bitchin...

I am wondering if it is just becuase my right rear is now a dra slick, and
the left rear has less traction, thus breakin loose, adn then the right..
well I don't get it, can someone please explain this too me????
