OP - "Once a tire breaks loose and starts spinning, there is virtually no load at all on the engine or drive train"
I'm sorry, but what you said is definitely not true, unless you are on ice.

Since you belong to a performance car club, I suspect there are sports cars there, not former automatic rentals... Maybe 6 speed manuals and the like do the burnouts. If I took my car into the dealer under warranty, I wonder if they would have an issue. I was doing burnouts in my club and the piston snapped; fix it at no charge for me!

So if one of your buddies in the performance club accidentally shifts into a low gear on a fast upshift and over-spins the engine, does he give you the bill because it overshot the rev limiter?
