Bad place to try and break loose.

Nobody needs to convince us as to the charms of carving a nice doughnut in a powerhouse SxS. However, in the interest of our daily physics lesson, remember that a big ingredient to a proper doughnut is limited traction. That’s why they typically work best in loose gravel, sand, soft dirt, ice and so on. Pavement is good for providing traction. Too good even.
