Default Clutch break-in for non street car

Since my last clutch install I have taken the car off the road so a good 500 mile break in period really isn't feasible. What are all you gear bangin trailer queens doing for break-in on a new clutch aside from driving illegally on the street? My car is no longer tagged or insured.

I searched but could only come up with the standard clutch break-in threads for street cars.
