Default how to burnout

Hey sounds liek a dumb question but im just curious whats the best way to do a burnout before racing with drag radials, and also do stock tires need any burnout before a race. Im also wondering if burning out by releasing the clutch fast will wear the clutch. thanks

rev the car, dump the clutch, cover the brake slightly to keep the front wheels from moving.

have you noticed over time, when you explain something so much, your answer gets shorter and shorter.

You get tired of saying the same things over and over again. I've gotten to the point of contimplating (sp) of wheter or not to answer.

Street tires = just a quick scrub, no water box, no brake stand

DR = water box (just the back wheels), Brake stand for 3-4 seconds with a roll out

Streets don't like to much heat. To hot and they are slippery and next to useless.
