Read mine as soon as I got my copy last night.

The sparks are probably from the steel radials from his tires. Im sure he burns his tires down through the rubber to the steel radial, and so when he peels out the tires spark. My guess on the sparking issue. You can slide your car w/ the ebrake, but you cannot do what they were doing, they were powersliding through the coner, they may have gotten themselves sideways w/ the ebrake however
