Burnout impaired I cant seem to heat up my bfg drs. I drop that bitch in first and punch it and the girl just wants to spin a little get me sideways and start creeping forward. I cant get my rpms past 2500. And then i spin for a car length on my launch.
Spin them over in the water box to get them nice and wet and then pull out of it. Rev it up to about 4500 and dump it while holding the brake. I use my right foot to hold the brake while holding the gas pedal down at the same time. Keep the rpm's up around 5000-5500 so it doesn't bog before they get hot. After about 8 sec they will start getting sticky and rpms will start to fall and you'll be ready to pull up and stage.

i used to have that problem... i was pressing the brake too hard..
i know it sounds dumb, but some times you dont even think about it and just do it..
so now i just press the brake just enough so the car doesnt move and punch it..
1st goes, changes to 2nd stays at about 5k for about 2 secs and let it go..
works for me...

Get the tires a little bit wet if you have to.. Back up into the water box and pull out to the very edge of the water and try it.. Shouldn't have a problem using that method..

Yep, use alittle water and try to ease up on the brake. You should be able to put the car right to the limiter no problem out of the bottom of 1st or 2nd. If you go to the track alot you might want to invest in a line lock.

Good advice guys, next time im gonna try easing up on the brake a little.
I was pressin it as hard as i could to the floor and gently rolling into the throttle, not just punching it.

I used to have a problem with my car walking bad from side to side. I found that i just had to grab it and grunt to get it right! Mines a 6 speed, but i'd guess it might work for you too.
Just get the tires moving as fast as you can, as fast as you can, then hit the brakes to keep the car from moving. Dont give that bitch TIME to go sideways on you
Its always a good idea to drive around the waterbox, then back into the water with the back wheels. You dont want your front tires leaving a water trail for your back tires to drive over, and you want you front tires to grip as much as possible to stop the car while doing the burnout.

The advice worked, backed into the box, spun a little to get them wet, pulled forward, and hammered down. Kinda surprised me when i hit the rev limiter. I was definitely holding the brakes too hard before. kudos
