One time I was doing an autocross at Irwindale speedway in the 911.

I was trying to get the launch right but had bogged it almost every run that day.
So I gave it some more throttle and slipped the clutch a bit and get the turbo spooled up before dumping the clutch.
I lit up both back tires so i grabbed 2nd and they kept spinning.

Bad for the car, really bad for the launch or lap time, but it definitely got attention when a stock-looking SC left two black marks and smoke through 2 gears.
I got a talking to about that, if I wasn't helping set up the event and corner working all day they prolly would have sent me home.

A year earlier i was doing an AX at the same place in a V8 914.
One of the hot-shoes commented that I was really turning good lap times considering my clutch was slipping so bad.
He had heard the engine rev up out of every corner and thought it was the clutch but it was really the back tires spinning.
