Goon Question ....

FRANK121 · 02-22-2023, 07:55 AM

A question for the drivers,

When doing a burnout what are your technics for keeping the car rolling forward straight? (Throttle control, Brake control)

I can get some good ones but toward the end can get sketchy

While not necessarily to your question - I've seen some say it's not good to shift gears (A10) during shifts, so that might be something to look into, too.

I think you just have to steer into the direction the car's going, and probably add a little brake.

Modulate the throttle and counter steer with the wheel

^^^ this.

Also, I shift manually, keep the rpms relatively steady with the throttle, and modulate brake pressure to keep a given roll forward speed. Theoretically speaking, of course.

(Unlike yours, my car does not have line lock.)

Don't spin them so fast. faster spin = less grip = more movement side to side.

When typing the thread title did you accidentally hit the G key instead of the H? I think you can fix that in edit.

Either works, don't they, kind of

Nothing wrong with little rubber black stripes left on the road

But around here some call that Guy a "goon" for doing it?

I for one think a little rolling burnout from time to time is good for the soul

Little rubber black stripes you say? This was circa 2005 when I was 18
