He says go, i set line lock, place in 2nd gear, take to 6000rpm (if track looks so so ill go 2nd/3rd ) release line lock and roll out

I usually start my burnout in third gear too. The point that needs to be said here is no 1/2 shift in the water box-That can damage the overrunning clutch /sprag in the trans-- start your burnout in second or third gear.

When you roll through, your front tires are going to put down a trail of water directly in front of your slicks (??) LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

Somebody else said it, stay away from 1st gear and you'll be fine.

Thats true Cab as the water runs off to the side at most decent tracks.I have my crew lay towels in front of the car to dry them off

Also if you have to go to neutral after the burnout, do it before you get close to the tree. You need to roll the car a few feet in first to set the sprag. 2021 Dodge 2500 4WD Cummins 2020 Challenger R/T Scat Widebody 2007 Charger R/T 5.7

Most of the companies want you to do a good burnout the first time with new tires then just a moderate to light burn from there on

I take it you don't want to do the burnout in drive and let the tranny automaticly shift itself, is that correct?
