Got a question for some of you guys...When guys are burning out with slicks, how do you guys keep the drivers side slick from stopping without using a LSD ? I can get them to break traction but every so often the left slick stop and doesn't get warmed up properly. I have tried turning the wheels left to right, but the slick still stops every now and then. Also, do and of you guys do your burnout in second gear ?

 

DO NOT SWITCH GEARS while doing a burnout...not good for your car

if you want...when driving through the water box...spin the tires for a VERY short period...so the water gets around the whole tire...that will ensure that both your tires spin

 

Umm..what else do you suggest? How else are you gonna spin your tires faster then say 30 MPH?
I think shifting into 2nd is fine...as long as you dont powershift...it shouldnt be any different then shifting while driving.

 

When domestics do "showoff" burnouts, they get the rubber boiling then maintain RPMs. They might have to slowly increase RPMs, it is all very controlled.

 

just maintain rpms like he said...

the only difference is that your car isn't moving

its just a generally accepted rule...but do what you want

 

Rock the wheel back and forth, left to right. That way both your tires will spin.
EVIL

 

Yes I know that...but maintaining RPMs in 1st gear say at 6000 will result in spinning the tires at around 25 MPH...if you maintain 6000 in 2nd gear...then its more like 50 MPH...so they will heat up faster.

 

Watch the Import drag races, they burnout for like 1 - 2 seconds. Not very long at all, I don't see them going into 2nd gear either. . . .

 

like evil said... rock the steering wheel back and fourth.

 

Thanks guys for the help..I guess without a LSD rocking left to right is the best option. I wonder if I put a lower PSI in the right wheel and higher PSI in the left wheel, if that will help me get the left slick spinning and rocking left to right.
