I thaught of doing a drag race dio with this same idea. I was considering using a smoke generator from a HO or O scale train wired to a button that could be pushed to start the smoke.

About the only way to model smoke is using cotton wool, or cotton balls to us Yanks, puffed out and tinted accordingly. It's difficult to pull off without a lot of trial and error but can look quite good if you keep fussing with it to get the effect you want.

Kind of a daftish to stupid idea. Make the pavement base with lane lines be blurred, ignore the smoke idea.

If I was you I'd skip the tyres and do the Jap schoolgirls.
