you all start in first? ever shift to second or third gear?

 

If you shifted your wheels would stop spinning for a little while and you would move forward out of the box.

 

i start in second, and stay in second... on 24.5 slicks

Really? Go ahead and shift, just make it quick. You will be fine. As far as starting in 2nd....I always wondered that as well. If you have a good clutch I guess it would work.

Sweet. Just what I thought.
Thanks turbochic. I have 24.5" slicks just haven't used them yet.

 

I start on 2nd and keep the rpm@7000 and let down the ebrake once I feel a little pull.

i tried both ways, on 15" azenis. i personally like dropping the clutch in second gear, trying to shift while doing a burnout takes some practice

 

I think that Im gonna try the 2nd gear burnout on my 22x8x15 MT's. Maybe this weekend?

 

What about waterbox etiquette??

For FWD Cars, do you roll thru the water box and burnout right in front of it where it's semi moist, with the rear tires still in the box? and then roll out and stage??

Do you roll thru it completely and do a burnout in the dry? Do you burnout in the box?

 

I start in 2nd for sure, I go in the water and do a quick spin move forward till the edge of the water and drop it the when you fell it pulling you out of there drop the e-brake. Rob

NO! pull forward past the box... spinning in the water is a no-no...

 

i put mine on the 2 step and pull the staging brake and pop the clutch

 

thanks guys for all the responses.....atleast i know now what you guys are doing for burnouts..........i really need to get a two step though. It would make things so much easier.

 

I can usually get into 4th in a burnout as long as theres a good amount of water in the box, but I only do that when I am doing burn-out contests, I usually just pop the clutch in first and do quik shifts to 3rd and let off the e brake and pull her forward...not really hard, I shift fast when going down the 1/4 just as fast as when doing burnouts...

 

proper burnout for FWD.......IF the water box is under control............



release the ebrake and let the rears roll through the water.....

ALWAYS 2nd gear, even on SOHC D15 power!!!!!!!

Only on slicks or maybe drag radials or else your burn up your clutch.
1st gear for street tires (stocks)

 

does second gearreally work.... im just curious

 

On the race car, I usually lined up the front slicks right at the water, put it in 1st gear, chirp it for a slight second untill all surfaces are wet, then roll out of the water box at the moist area, then put it in 2nd gear, rev it to 7000 rpms ish (or use two step), dump the clutch and just keep flooring it. let it bounce off the rev limiter and turn the steering wheel side to side. Once you feel like you have gotten enough heat, release the e-brake and roll out.

Same thing on my street car..
