I destroyed a pressure plate on a borg warner clutch in my '89 Formula that way....Blip the throttle, sidestep the clutch, grab the brake with your toe.....wait for smoke. I got lots of smoke...I was spinning the clutch at 3500 rpm, when I changed it a few days later, the pressure plate had started to "soften" in spots. But that is the technique, and with a good clutch, it works pretty well.
