Just in case you ever wondered whether or not a truck outfitted with tracks can still do a burnout, this video emphatically argues that it can. The folks at Mattracks Inc. outfitted a Ford F-350 with their heavy-duty truck tracks and CEO Glen Brazier hopped behind the wheel to prove just how much smoke they can make. Turns out, that in addition to improving traction and lowering ground pressure, pickup tracks are quite adept at burnouts. Watch the video below.
