It's a manual transmission car. I've been doing a burnout in second. When I have attempted it in third a couple times it has slipped the clutch or been right on the verge of slipping. I'm getting rid of the soft lock clutch. That should make 3rd gear burnouts no problem I do my burnout in 2nd with 4.10's and 28 inch tires, only starts to kick to the left when tires start to grab. Does your car go sideways instantly or after some smoke? maybe the tires are ready sooner than you think. Soft Lock clutches seem to be preferred among many stick car guys, Takes allot of shock out of the system, I would think twice before getting rid of it. What clutch do you plan on switching to?

You can aggravate the car going sideways by steering into it as if you were drifting. It's a natural reaction but if its going sideways while not moving forward during the burnout try holding the wheel straight.

Since it was asked how much wheelspeed is enough, my answer would be however much it takes to straighten it up. I know manual trans cars have a bit of an issue as you have to get it rolling and not kill the clutch. FWIW my current car the burnouts are 6-6500, in high gear I use a limiter to get going at 5900, once it blips that I let it rip. In this car in high gear 6500 is probably 130+ mph. Have to look at the racepak to see where that is?

Just for sake of conversation, we all have to do what al is talking about sometimes, or cruddy burnout boxes, out of level areas, you name it. Just blip it up quick, and high. Personally, I like the car to go straight on the burnout whether I'm barley spinning, or near on fire. Spinning super fast just vulcanizes the center of the tire, and if the situation means that's all you can do, you do it. Setting the car up to go straight on the run, then adjusting the front springs till the car will burn straight no matter what RPM is a better way IMO since you can let the tire settle down and flatten out some. Just personal preference.

Thanks everyone for all of the replies

Sanoma has a well worn groov in the burnout area in the left lane. Just have to adapt😁
