1. hold brake until car starts spinning
2. when revs get lower let off with the foot pressure to loosen up on brakes (but not all the way if you dont wana roll). the rpms should shoot back up..but if you do it correctly you shouldnt have any rpm drop
3. let completly off the brakes when done and let tires stop themselves.

I usually put the brakes to the floor, bring it up on the converter and let off the brakes a bit to let it move and get them going.... Then I just hold them in enough to keep the car from moving.
It was ironic to me that the one thing I had the most trouble with in learning how to drive a race car was the burnout given the fact I had done a good million of them on the street

wouldnt doing a burn out w/ out a linelock be hard on ur rear brakes and ur clutch and ur engine???
i always think about what im doing to the car, forcing power to the rear to break the power of the brakes, and on top of that still have to turn a sticky tire???hmm sounds like alot of stress on all the parts involved. and even for u a4 guys i would think ur tranny temps would go up by doing so.IMO
dont get me wrong ive done it this way, but not often, i usaully just dump the clutch at 4k and feather it to redline, back up do it again, and pull up and stage, but i run street tires, once i get some draglites and some et streets, im get a line lock and lay some VHT down, burn em, and hope for a dead hook?

Without a linelock, you will roast your rear brakes a little, not a good thing to keep doing repeatedly.
Another issue is doing burn outs on street tires, usually unnecessary. I've cut the same 60 foot doing a burn out as without added to the difficulty of doing it on a 6 speed with out line lock it's just not worth it.

with an M6 its a good feeling when burning out.
blip the gas, pop the clutch, and hit the brake as your gassing.
it feels like a kick in the *** when the clutch is popped, and a punch in the face when hitting the brakes.

I manage to do burnouts like I have a line lock without one. All comes down to being able to finesse your brakes correctly. You also should not just let your wheels come to a stop - you need to drive forward out of it. Just letting the wheels come to a stop puts undue stress on your driveline.

GET A LINELOCK lol for 100 bucks or whatever it was youll save 300.00 worth of brake pads in the months and years to come!
and if you have a M6 you could do 4th gear burnouts

it took two weeks for the smell to go away, and one shopping bag full of clutch dust. never again on a stock clutch.

that vid of the 4th gear burnout, the guy was shifting like he doesnt have one. wouldnt you be able to shift like your driving (off gas,clutch in, shift, clutch out, back on gas) where the car wouldnt bounce around.
