wheelspins
Traction-free acceleration attempts
Wheelspins is the plural of wheelspin—when a vehicle's wheels rotate rapidly without gaining traction, typically on slippery surfaces or during aggressive acceleration.
The tires spin uselessly against the road: The car left the line with a cloud of smoke and wheelspins.
In video games, wheelspins often refer to randomized prize draws where a spinning wheel determines rewards.
