But, first there are burnouts! Some leave their mark and proceed to their next activity others take advantage of the burnout box to practice, practice and practice their burnout skills. The lingering smell of spent high-octane fuel and burnt rubber accenting the last cup of coffee for the morning, makes for a great start to any day at JBA Speed Shop.
