Skid Plate Racing... Robot Potential?

This is so dumb that it's awesome. Sparking skidplates on asphalt. I see some outdoor robot potential. Maybe with an occasional spritz of alcohol or gas into the sparks.

I'm mad I didn't think of it first. I should have, since every high-speed police pursuit shown on Los Angeles news ends with the bad guy drifting around his own neighborhood on sparking rims. DOH!

    Hadn't heard of this before....or there's always "train racing" (not what you might think!)

    I you mix the two, I think you have the "next big thing!" in stupid fun!

    I applaud such accelerations to Darwinism in Action. I only wish they'd stay off the regular roads when exercising their right to perform self-extinctions.
