I've got brand new tires for the rear sitting in my garage waiting to be mounted. I'm not mounting them till I find an empty out of sight parkinglot on an early Sunday morning without security to make a great burnout video. Unfortunely, its going to rain/snow this Sunday
I love doing rolling burnouts, what I do not know how to do is keep the car still, and burnout till the smoke is covering the entire car. Is this what a line lock is for?

To do a stationary burn out just get the wheels spinning and with your right foot toe you can feather the gas and drag the brake with your heel. It takes little brake pressure to keep the car from rolling, especially in this weather .

To avoid wheel hop, don't drop the clutch. Spank the throttle and as the RPM's are passing about 2500, slip the clutch a little and then feather the throttle once you have them burning.
