Default Burnout tips?

I seem to be having a problem with the back-end of the car stepping way out to the left when in the waterbox. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's a 6-speed car on MT DR's (16") and I do my burnouts in 2nd gear.

Thanks for any advice!

Get a line lock then dump the clutch at 5500 and they should have no problem spinning. Thats what I do and the tail end never wants to come out.

I agree. A line lock works really good.

It's walking b/c it's beginning to get traction. Spin them at a higher RPM. That should fix it.

Small point, you said "in the water box" pull out a few feet before you start heating the tires, that way water does not get thrown on top of the wheel well, as it will drip down on the tire while you are sitting at the start line giving you traction problems out of the hole.
