You said in your opening post that you have slicks. If you don't have a line lock then you will need to do the old heel/toe trick. You back into the water box then pull out a couple of feet; use your left foot on the clutch, use your right foot heel on the brake, and work the gas with your right foot toes. It sounds tricky, but it is not too hard. You should practice before going to the track so you don't make a fool of yourself. Remember to keep an eye on the tach. You can either start off in second or if you are worried about that start in first and shift into second, but don't let off the brake!

If you have street tires you need to stay away from the water box; just drive around. On the way to the line just spin the tires over to clean them off so you don't contaminate the starting line. Remember to be careful and have fun!

If your in an auto push your brake pedal all the way down, put it in drive if its not already there and push your gas pedal downabout 3/4. Your rpms should be around 3-4000. Let up on your brake very slightly and the tires should start spinning. When they start spinning dont put the brake all the way down again, sort of hold it there and at that point you can push the gas all the way. Kinda gotta play with it back and forth a tad. Practice makes perfect. When your done eating up your tires just keep your pedal to the metal and let off the brake completely. Is very kool and the ladies love it.

Line lock is legel in all classes. In a foot brake class (non-electronics) you cannot lock the 4 wheels and leave off a button (line lock release).

You can start in second, people do this because they think its easier on the trans than doing it in first. People with high hp, or steep gears say thy do the burn out in second. I am sure there a few track people will fill you in to why this is.

You burnout in 2nd gear because the tires are turning faster....that's all. It's not easier on anything.

second gear burn out allows you to get the tires spinning faster and at lower RPM. u want to get the tires to 50-60 MPH for a few seconds- rpm not important. yes you would start in 2nd and drop the clutch around 4500 and keep the revs up... the easiest way to do it is with a line lock...other wise u have to get on the brake to hold the fronts and the engine will overpower the rears...but this is hard on your rears as mentioned above....

I couldn't do a brake stand .... so I got some line locks today!!
