He was ready to, believe me. The crappy part about it was that they lined
Alan up so that his left tire was in a groove and didn't make contact
with the racing surface. Therefore, he only burned half of that tire.
With full contact on that tire he could have generated a total of 25%
more smoke.
While the Duster was running, there was no wind and so the smoke just
accumulated. When Alan got out there, there was a slight breeze which
tended to dissipate the smoke he generated. The winner had the stands
packed with a cheering section, too.
Still in all a valiant effort. A guy standing next to me said, "he can't
run that truck in a burnout contest! It's too pretty!!!"
