Is it not possible to use the burnout LC mode and then hop onto the brakes very quickly once the clutch has dumped and your wheels are spinning?

Nope, like I said in that link you do get a fair bit of wheelspin but it doesn't let you get on the brake.

Ah my bad, I missed that. Bit of a bummer...

Well I guess a small burnout is better than no burnout at all.

[Nugget]

Yeah and it's probably better for my licence and rear tyres that it won't let me get on the brake

Great 60ft time! Especially with a 6MT. What's your trick? Lol

Deflated rear tyres to 22psi.
The PSS are so grippy. They're only about 1 month old.
Didn't do a burnout.
Just let out the clutch, didnt slip it too much, launching at about 3k.

That was my first run of the night.
Second time ever at the drags.

Bloody good effort. I think my tyre pressures might be one of the reasons for my crappy 60 fts. Going to try 30 next time and drop it down from there.

How did your other runs go?

[drjekl]

I'm finally making arrangements to head out to WSID next wed night 21st Aug

Shall be good oportunity to get a baseline with street tyres, no lsd, no e85 ptf etc
