I'm new to the area. Anybody know a good place to practice burn-outs and launches with out the cops harrassing you. Somewhere in Ascension parish would be great. A nice parking lot that's empty on weekends away from houses maybe? Maybe a nice stretch of dead road. Any thoughts?

Do it in Thunder Racings parking lot. Hell, everybody else does. LOL
Or do it in front of the 3rd house on the right on Abbey James. That's where I do mine.

LOL!! But, You're missing the point. It is that I'm trying to avoid the embarrassing stall out. I can hold break pressure all day with an Automatic. But I've never done it with a stick.

Run over to Thunder, spend a few bux, get their line lock kit with pre-bent lines. You'll never worry about burnouts again. Linelocks are worth EVERY penny, especially with a 6-speed.

Don't take his advice on this...it will quickly get you hunted down and you will be made to race all cars that live there.


P.S. Tim98TA is a peckerhead.

Line lock holds hydraulic pressure in the front brakes, so you can use your feet for other things. I wouldn't want to race with an M6 without one. Look at Thunder's web site, it's online in their catalog.
