you've never done a burnout? all you do is spin the tires, just drop the clutch and spin em' or you can get an SLP line lock that will lock up the front tires and you can do a burnout like an auto well kinda. Where in Massachusetts are you from?

Jeremy

Turn off traction control also. That is if you have it.

If you are using stock tires, DO NOT JUST SIT AND BURN THEM OFF!!!!

Here is how to get a great launch on stock tires....

First go to a deserted area and drop the clutch and just hammer it in first so you leave a nice set of black marks...Go back and look at them...If they are really black in the middle, but not so much on the outer edges, you have too much air in your tires...let some out....If they are really black on the outside but get light towards the middle you let too much out...every tire has a different "sweet spot" for air pressure...my M/T ET streets love 18lbs...where are my stock 245/45/17's loved about 24lbs....you will have to play with it a little, but the more even a black mark is from end-middle-end, the greater contact patch you have on take-off....also air those front tires up! No need for rolling resistance!

Ok, back to you original question: If you just sit there and burn the crap out of your tires "aka John Force Burnout" you will not e able to take off as good as if you just slightly burn the STOCK tires (enough to see as whisp of smoke) After that do a "dry hop"...which means right after you get out of the burn-out box, but still way ahead of the staging area, just jump on it a little to clean the crap off of your tires...then go to pre-stage....

I have raced many "stock " classes through the years (12 yrs of racing), and reaction time/getting off the line is crucial...

This is for stock tires only...BFG Drag Radials, and Nitto DR you can sit and burn a little harder because of the material they are made out of....
Good luck, and hope this helps....

Thats an auto he has a stick.

-Just turn off Traction control.
-put it into first
-step on the gas when the rpms are about to hit 3k i pop the culucth out
-quickly move your foot that was on the culucth to the brake pedal and press the brake rather hard. if the engine starts to bog let off the brake a tad.
-feather gas to keep it off the rev limiter

and thats it.

personally i have a line lock way eaiser!!!

oohsoobad2

Line locs are much easier... to operate and on parts. At the track, I do the burnout in second gear, its too easy to hit the rev limiter in first.

Can't you do it with your e-brake instead of quickly steping on your brakes after letting go of the clutch, cause wont that wear off your rear brakes pads?

another thing...is it better to drive with your traction control off all the time? Or should you leave it on?

Traction control depend on the weather, it works good in the rain but driving a V8 in snow is trickey however you do it.

The reason for holding your foot on the brake, is to use the front brakes to keep the car still, the e-brake only locks the rear wheels so that wont help at all.

I always have the traction control off. My friends transmission is jacked and they told him it was from the traction control system (too much strain on the tranny from the traction control limiting the engine, while the wheels are still spinning, leaving the transsmission right in the middle of it)

gears make it easier to do a burn out, but pop the clutch and hit the brake and the gas at the same time (not to much brake) and you will be into your power brake or brake stand.

spike_africa

Untrue, the traction control will not harm your Tranny what-so-ever.
And it is not better to run with it off or on. only difference would be that you will spin less or spin more thats it, well and less tire wear i guess.

The Traction Control is useless to me...I mean....the main purpose for it is to keep the engine from going faster if the tires are spinning...How dumb are u if you need a computer to figure out your tire is spinning? :dontknow:

Ford need to do something about the traction contol, its just horrable.

spike_africa

i like it, i have actually used mine a few times and found it use full. i ust think that it should be off and only turned on when needed, but i dought that will ever happen as they think it helps to just leave it on for slippery situations.
