You are correct. I use a linelock to do my burnouts without moving. Best $160 I have ever spent

Here are a couple other vids just to show how my rear end never moves. I could do a burnout until the tires exploded if I wanted to.... lol

Just an FYI - the reason you do this is to get your tires warmed up nice and hot so they actually melt to the rubber on the track at the starting line. This gives you much better grip when you launch the car.







Sorry for jacking your El Paso thread........ You can scold me at any point
