I still have the video of that somewhere at home...on analog tape...from when he did that at Norwalk, with Bill Bader Jr. laughing over the P.A. system "Arnie! You're killing me!"

Shamless repeat. "It'll buff out!!!"
I met Arnie at a speed shop my son worked at right after college. His white Tempest had blown the motor and they were tearing it down to inspect and determine the fault. He signed one of the pistons out of that motor for me. ![]() He was so great to talk to. You'd think he knew you all your life. Mark L

But there are no more facts quoted on that other board than in this thread. In fact, a few outright lies told there.

I have more experience with long, high-speed, high-energy burnouts than most folks. The slightest traction difference left-to-right will kick the car around. I personally have ended burnouts facing sideways and facing totally turned around backwards.
I would advise my PY friends not to get caught up in the chatter of the keyboard experts. Eric

Arnie is a legend! He does not have to go down the track to maintain his status in drag racing. I know of several folks who have tried to get Arnie out of the car. He loves the thrill too much. Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever happen.
