left foot on clutch, and I like to use my right heel on the brake, right toes on the gas. Give it gas, let out the clutch and you're there. You can move your left foot over to the brake if you want to after its off of the clutch.

Another easy way is to get line lock and only have it hooked up to your front brakes. Lock it, gas and release clutch. Wont wear out your rear brakes doing it that way.

Do you mean at the track, or being a jackass on the street. At the track if you want a really good burn get the rear tires in the waterbox and put it in at least second, rev to 5K, drop the clutch and get them spinning and then when the tires get out of the waterbox add the brake just enough to keep the car from rolling. On the street just do the same but start in first.

dump the clutch at 3k, you 94+'s have rear discs soooo...if you use the brakes you'll wear the rears out quickly

The waterbox is there to get your tires wet,not do a burnout in.Drive THROUGH the water and then continue to do your burnout.

At the track... If you have wide front tires.... drive around the waterbox then back in.

On the street... definatly watch the back brakes on our cars.

3 of these (juiced them all to keep it going across the parking lot) and it warped the back rotors.... plus finished off the clutch pack in my rearend.

Videos of the 3 burnouts are on my site too. BTW - I'm an AODE so I was able to run the car up to 3rd in each burnout.

for being a jackass on the street, simply install a linelock

this way you dont make yourself look like even more of a jackass for stalling your car while trying to do a burnout.
