When you do a second gear burnout everything is the same as a first gear burnout, right? Holding down the e-brake? More info on this please

I was doing 3rd gear burnouts on my small old 22' slicks. then I got a pair of worn out 225 BFGs and went to do a 2nd gear burnout on them at the track and they didnt want to spin no where as easy as the full slicks. I would say get them pretty wet and then get your revs up and go for it. Same as a 1st gear basically.

2nd gear always....12psi bfg's........1.71 60ft all day long......and no massive burnout needed to get them hot..just make sure all the thread is gone off the tire....

10 psi tire pressure.

2nd gear burnouts, just get the revs to around 7k and drop the clutch with the ebrake up like hell. the waterbox helps with this. i just hit the limiter/ keep it at like 7500rpms for honestly between 5-8 seconds.


good burnouts my 60's are 2.0 flat, shittier burnouts and my 60s go up to around 2.15-2.2. my personal experience has it directly related.

if i dont do a good burnout and heat the tires up, ill spin 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear at like 7500 rpms, but ill only be going like 40mph. 2nd gear burnouts ftw!

anything below 12psi is considered dangerous..
too much tire wobble on the big end could cause steering loss at high speed...
