Another phrase I've heard for "burning rubber," which at least rhymes (kindasorta) with your "getting scratch" is "laying a patch." The sense here being, I believe, to spin the tires and leave a patch of rubber on the road - I've always liked the phrase because it takes a moment to puzzle out but gives a very clear image of what's happened once you do.
