| rdfs:comment | - Burning Rubber is a Sprint Race in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012). This event takes place in McClane and Callahan Industrial. The course is mostly straightforward as it regularly passes intersections. Players can drift fairly long distances around the tunnel in Heflin Drive.
- In comics and cartoons, someone running or driving very quickly will leave a trail of fire in his or her wake. Can be justified, albeit thinly, in the case of a wheeled vehicle (friction causes heat and tires are flammable -- though in that case only the tires should be burning). Other times the trail of fire isn't caused by tires or indeed wheels, which may make you wonder what exactly is causing those flames. But honestly, when this trope is employed well, you won't worry about such niggling little details. It's cool. Examples of Burning Rubber include:
- Mister Strong: (Speaks) Are you all ready? Get ready for the flag! Here we go! (Sings) Drivers get ready, Start your engines! The Race is about to begin! Rev on the yellow, tear out on the green! Lookin' for a checkered flag win! Chorus: Burnin' Rubber! Burnin' Rubber! If you wanna go fast, You've gotta step on the gas! Oh yeah! Here we go! 500 times, around the track, Your hand's grippin' tight on the wheel! 'cause one wrong move and you'll be spinning out! Ending up in a tangle of steel! Burnin' Rubber! Burnin' Rubber! Burnin' Rubber! Burnin' Rubber! And if you wanna go fast, You've gotta step on the gas!
- One type of rubber, polybutadiene, which ordinary squash balls and also the cores of golf balls are made of, can be used as rocket fuel. It is much cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly than conventional rocket fuel. It was used by Burt Rutan in one spaceship launch. Imagine making rocket fuel of cheap squash balls and golf ball cores! It is especially cheap if discarded balls are used. The safety is because it is not explosive. That also saves safety expenditures, especially in reuseable spacecraft. Tires are not as environmentally friendly, because they contain polluting chemicals, but they could be used as an emergency fuel if squash and golf balls should be restricted, and that environmentally unfriendly emergency fuel exists in abundance should deter governments from trying
