Yeah, I've got some of my T-shirts and dash plaques from the 1st few Summernats too, I was digging around in my (vast) sticker collection a few weeks ago and found an envelope full of dash plaques and key rings.

And I have to agree with you about the terminology, a skid is when you are coming to a stop, a burnout is when you are accelerating. The whole problem with this sort of stuff is when consensus seems to rule (even when it's wrong!) I have the same trouble with every kid coming into my shop asking for a new "sprocket" for their BMX. I tell them that BMX bikes all have 9 tooth sprockets attached to the hub now, and that they mean the "chainring" on the cranks. They have been conditioned by idiots and will not accept the correct term, especially when some old bloke is telling them.
Even if he has had 50 years experience in the sport......

Same thing is happening with "skid".

(while I'm on it, I also hate wheels being called "rims" too.... They aren't alloy rims, they are alloy wheels!)

OK.... I'm done....
