Heaps?

I have a hard time with the burn out in the three pedal cars. It is easy enough to untrack it John Force style if you have enough HP, but to do one without moving much is not easy, especially with manual brakes. Autos are easy. Just mash the brake and the gas! Manual...mash brake and gas with right foot, dump clutch, then brake with left foot...hit the starter guy...pandemonium[8D]

What I did is use my left foot for the clutch, and I put my right heel on the brake while I push on the accelerator with my right toe. I bring her up to about 2500 then slip clutch, and then try to transfer my left foot onto the brake while bringing the rest of my right foot onto the gas. Works good for me.

Rev it up, dump the clutch, and watch the drivetrain get destroyed along with the tires.

brake + gas = easy burnout for auto. I left two tire marks and I don't even think I have a LSD/Posi... just really bald tires with no traction...

Rev it hard, dump the clutch and take out the spectators, err, wait, wrong forum....................[:@]

Alternatively you could install a line lock, to isolate the rear brakes, or you could fill the washer tank
with water/oil and run a line to each back wheel ( saves on tyres and drive train costsand smell is
not as bad either )..........
