Burnout
GlennLever:
I know it is not needed, but always been a fan of a smokey burn out

Also, I hit the throttle to raise the rpm's fast then taper back when I feel the slicks are spinning, and, immediately lift when I feel them start to grab, still remember the days of ballooning a converter.

That's how we do it.

I start mine in 1st and shift to second as soon as tires start to spin and let up before they grab. I was told starting out in second can be tough on the clutch pack. And staying in to long tough on the sprag.
GlennLever:
Start in high and stay there, no shift, get out of it before the tires grab, it should take very little throttle to spin the tires, note the blades in the bird catcher are barely open and I do not have a lot of power (I am a 8.000 second 1/4 mile dragster, top speed is usually around 165),
The first shot is the very start of the burn out, and the scond one I have move 50 feet down the track, and still the blades are barely open. You should not have to use much throttle to spin the tires.
Both shots are of the same burnout
wideopen231:
With todays tires and track prep a long burnout is just extra abuse on engine and tires burned up quicker.Bad part a big someky burnout to half track is freaking fun as all get out.I loved burnout in the alky car.Roll thru water roll into throttle and burn till your heart was content or billfold was bitting at your butt.
Limiting burnout with this new deal is something I will have to do not what I want to do.
