How detrimental is this to the rear brakes. I have always done my burnouts
without the brakes applied. Granted they only lasted two or three seconds.
So, when you go down to the tire store, you also might want to inquire about
new brakes?

Cale's Burnout class 101:
Here's the deal - there's three pedals down there, and if you'll look
closely, you only have to feet. hmmmmm.... So we must take a page out
of the road racer guys handbook, section "heel-and-toe" downshifting.
Your left foot will work the clutch the entire time, while your right
will handle both brake and gas duties. The heel of the right will be on
the brake, and the toe on the gas. It feels really weird, but you'll get
used to it. Throw the clutch in, take 1st gear, and press hard on the
brake with your right heel. Rev the engine with the right toe until you
get sufficient revs to break the tires loose (anyone have a certain RPM
in mind?) then dump the clutch and bask in the glory of all that neat
white smoke coming out of your wheel wells. To quit, simlutaneously
throw the clutch in and let go of the gas. Next, go to tire store and
purchase two new tires.
Later,
Cale
