Tray Sliding.... Time for fun in FWD cars too!!!

karthik247 · 14th April 2007, 22:59

Steps
Place the trays on the ground behind your car level with each other and the same width as the rear wheel track of your car.

Reverse slowly onto the trays, (stop when your rear wheels are on top of them).

Apply Handbrake

Engage transmission

Revv and nail it (this will to some extent simulate a rear wheel drive car doing a burnout, doughnuts and even fishtails are possible).

i am going to my parking lot, right now, with two steel plates with me...

and ya, people in USA, use MCdonald's plastic trays, but guys, bont try this in india! the plastic trays wont last even for 5 mins.. steel plates would be a better choice!!

the mcdonalds trays dont last for 5mins either. maybe 3mins. make sure you stop replace them with fresh trays then continue

This can be done only on gravel/cement surface so that the plate doesn't slide off. We tried it today, it works... but its not as easy as it looks. The plate always slid off.

And we actually burnt two metal plates...thanks to nikhilv12

khaadu75 · 15th April 2007, 15:13

why metal ... just use plastic !!! Easier for them to slide .... :-) wat car did u sue them under ??

danlalan · 15th April 2007, 15:20

New Time pass...Tray Burnouts....i like the idea....shall report on that soon..with vids..

karthik247 · 15th April 2007, 15:21

Yes... But finding a strong enough plastic tray seemed kinda hard. Plus its a waste buying one n doing it cuz it wont last long anyways...

So we made a tray outta sheet metal, made small folds on all sides to that it doesn't slide off, but still...was pretty hard and wouldnt stay in place. There should be zero gravel, small stones etc, just pure tarmac with max grip in order to make the tray stay.

And we burnt a steel plate (which we used first). Imagine what will happen to the plastic. Nikhil was doing it, the tray got heated n got fried, and so did his tyre. The rubber melted a wee bit

Howabout videos of the same..?

ananthkamath · 15th April 2007, 18:35

did you remember to put on the handbrake?

cheap_deal · 15th April 2007, 22:19

put more weight in the back of the car to prevent tray from sliding off, couple of bags of rice or sand should do it.

as for "borrowing" a mcdonalds tray its as simple as walking in taking a tray and then walking out

man this is awesome.

I don't think McDonalds plate will slide
