Not too bad man but you don't need a line lock Just do the whole pop the clutch and hit the brake thing..... It works well and it's very simple. Just go to a back road and practice a few times so you don't go out to the track trying it for the first time and stalling out lol

I agree, no need for a line lock. From what I can tell, you're not heating up those tires at all. Looks like you're just driving through the water and then popping the clutch without holding it. That means you're launching on cold, damp tires. Other than that, everything looks good man.

Cool videos. And I agree, no need for line lock. Just rev it up to about 5k rpm and drop the clutch. Then gently set your foot on the brake to prevent you from rolling forward or your rear sliding around. Sometimes I even burn out in 2nd gear because my 1st gear is so short, but that depends on your gearing.

there's no reason why a bolt-on n/a 2v stang shouldn't hook with a drag radial. Leads me to believe it's a crappy track. I know the burnouts could use some work, but you should still hook just fine.

I can't blame the track on this one. Driving through the water without smoking the tires ends up being nothing more than launching on cold wet tires. Not good.
