burn out?
When I am on the track whats the best way to warm up my tires?
On burn outs do you step on the brakes then push the gas?
Or do you put in neutral, rev it, then throw it into d?
How do you guys do burn outs?

NEVER attempt to heat a pair of street tires, you are ONLY wasting rubber! These tires are meant to dissipate heat, and you will NOT build any positive temperature in them buy spinning them. BTW what you are referring to is called a "Neutral Drop" and I can't think of a better way to destroy a transmission or rear differential! AKA DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!

can anyone say KABOOM?!!!!!!!
I'm thinking our trannies would probably take the abuse (for a while anyway), but I wouldn't advise finding out. It's bad enough doing 'brake burns'..
For sure turn off the VDC using the 'pedal dance' method and you should be good to go.
Good luck at the races - kick some butt.

back in the day we were chosen by a popular magazine to do tires testing at the track (drag radials vs street radials) and we found that doing burnouts with street tires makes your launch worse. it really depends on the compound you're using but for the most part, do not do a burnout...also, DO NOT run through the water box as well.
