Linelocs are the easiest.SLP's are $120.If not here is what you do.Dump clutch at around 4000 rpm and quickly hit brake peddle enough to hold car.

yup, like said above, dump and stomp if you dont have a linelock

be careful thought.........either the breaks or the clutch need to give eventually, and i stayed HARD on the breaks too long...

melted my clutch ....sukced.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Rev to 5K, dump clutch, get on the brakes and stay in the throttle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Spin for a split second in the water. Pull forward 2 feet outta the water.
Hold RPM at 5000 and drop the clutch, then use your clutch foot on the brake, just hard enough to stop forward motion. Use gas pedal to stay between 5-6000rpm.
Look in mirrors. once you see smoke, count to 10 slowly. Let off gas, stage quickly.

"Please" just get a line lock. They don't cost alot of money, they save parts and it is just way cool to do a great tire smoking burnout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

IMO- anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

By the way, I think someone called Thunder Racing has a special on this kind of item. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Later,
Coach

I've done burnouts with both a line lock and without.

While my wife loves the linelock (I installed it because she wanted it), I don't like using it.

I already have to worry about tire pressure, ASR, RPM, lining up in the "tracks", etc, etc. It was just one more chore to do. Once you get good at the "3 Foot Shuffle", it's simpler than the linelock.

You can also do the heel-toe. Put your right foot heel on the brake and your right foot toe on the gas. Kind of hard if you have big feet, but you'll get the hang of it after a little while.
But prolly the easier way will be like everyone says. Dump the clutch and put your left foot on the brake right afterwards, but just enough to stop the movement of your car.

If you're not at the track and you don't have any VHT or water then the heel-toe is your best bet.

Peace,
Craig.
