Default Burnout for a C8

What is the procedure for a burnout at the drag strip for a C8 ? I do not have a line loc and do not plan on installing one, and I can't think of a way to overshadow the "Launch Control" type start. Any suggestions from people who have drag raced their C8's ??

I don't have a C8 but a 2020 Challenger. I have to press and hold the traction control button until it chimes (10 seconds or so). That removes all traction control programming so a burnout is possible. I'm guessing the Vette has the same ability to turn ESC to OFF,

I believe ECS did a video of their C8 at the drag strip with procedures used.
