=============================
I dunno if bleach helps the tire have more bite but I can tell you that it
produces tons of absolutely beautiful pure white smoke clouds if ya stand on
the go pedal long enough with plenty of bleach on the tires.

I know, cuz I got a ticket once in my youth for literally filling an entire
city long block with bleach and tire smoke from a good burnout that lasted
at least a minute.  No foolin', at least a minute.  It was done with plenty
of Oldsmobile and Mondello 455 big block power and a pair of old Pro-Trac
L-60's that I just never could seem to wear out.

Anyway, when I was finished getting the ticket from the nice officer and the
smoke finally cleared there was a pile of burnt rubber shavings about 4"
tall behind each rear tire.

Hey, it was cool at the time.

GAWD power braking can be fun!!!!

See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
