Brake burns, it's brake burn season!

The Northfield Road Collection
Northfield Road, Maitland to Barss Corner

Well, supposedly I have brakeburns.blogspot.com as 'mine', but for the life of me, I can't get it to publish, so I'll give it a shot here.

For the uninitiated....burnouts, brake stands, brodies or brake burns, it's all about rubber on the road! I think that brake burns are like the latent art form of the 'locals' in Lunenburg county.

A lazy drive up the Northfield Road last Sunday allowed me to discover a nice collection of spring time brake burns:



short set of 'fish hooks'















I wonder how much rubber is left on the tire?

nice 'wavy' set going up the hill onPenny Rd.


the beginnings of a 'double helix' burn

Stay tuned, the brake burn season has just begun ^_^
