A burnout (also known as a peel out, power brake, or brakestand) is the practice of keeping a vehicle stationary and spinning its wheels, the resultant friction causing the tires to heat up and smoke. While the burnout gained widespread popularity in California, it was first created by Buddy Houston, his brother Melson and David Tatum II at Ted Edwards Drag Strip in Fairburn GA (later to become Houston Bros Drag Strip and Reds Drag Strip) in the mid 1960s.
