e-brake only operates the rear brakes.

Haha... Well in that case ill tell you why im asking... Have you heard of the mcdonalds tray trick... You put em under your back tires and you can slide around everywhere... So i tried it but i couldnt get the tires to stay on the trays... So i pulled up the ebrake thinking that my back tires wouldnt move and my fronts would pull me... It didnt work... It just made my car lower as i let the gas out... So how do i get my tires to stay on the trays...

Practice makes perfect. Some people can do it without the trays.

Instead of letting the clutch out slowly, like a normal take off, with the E-Brake on, try to launch a little harder. Dunno if it would help, but worth a try.

BTW, sliding around on the trays is a stupid idea IMO.
