FWD Doughnuts?

is it at all possib;e on aregualr tarm surface to pull doughts with a FWD car. i have done it kinda on snow and ice by speeding up and cuttin the wheel to the lock and getting theback end of that car around with hand brake. i have also done that on dry ground and sorta worked. But the rotation never kept going nor did it make a complete 360. Any information will help me, and then im going to seriously consider going to a drivng school next time instead of a Defnsive driving couse. haha!

Sure just do them in reverse. Cause its not going to happen with a FWD on the power.

Easiest way is to get a couple of food trays from your local Walmart, or food court , and drive the rear tyres on to them. Pull your handbrake, accelerate to a reasonable speed, turn, and drift. It actually works surprisingly well.

It's true. Tray sliding is fairly popular from what I've seen and read. It sure as hell looks fun too, but I'd end up getting myself killed with my luck.

<<<<<< Has gone through quite a few trays from McD's in his life time using that trick.

Be forewarned you may **** up your rears doing this and make sure to keep track of the wear on the trays as after a while there will be holes in the trays.

And remember to please return your trays after you use them back to where you got them

The method I would use:
1. Sell FWD car.
2. Buy RWD car.
3. Proceed to do proper donuts.

Wood is the only answer...plus you can pull off fantastic drifts! Check the pics...if only I could upload the video....

Its like having a D1 car without going through tires.

Think about it this way...you're eliminating the grip of the rear tires. It will feel like you're driving on ice. Think of it as skis for cars....
