How to do a Rear Wheel Drive Burnout or Brakestand

RWD Burnouts (Brakestands)

First determine if you should go through the Water Box.
If you are going to do a water burn out:

  1. Roll into the water box and past the middle of it. You don’t want to be too close to the middle or it will be difficult to burn off all the water.
  2. Rev your motor up… (depending on how much power/torque you’re making you may want to rev pretty high – maybe 1-2k under redline.
  3. Drop the clutch and get the tires spinning.
  4. After you get your RPMs back up and your tires are spinning you’ll need to get your LEFT FOOT onto the brake pedal. Gently now, just enough to keep the car from creeping forward. Too hard on the brakes and you’ll kill your burnout. Too soft on the brakes and you’ll roll forward too much and get too close to the line.
  5. Feather the gas and keep your engine in the strong part of the powerband. Don’t sit there bouncing off the rev limiter unless you have an EMS or aftermarket ignition that cuts spark automatically for you.
  6. You should probably burnout for at least 4-5 seconds. Possibly longer depending on the type of tires you have on your car. In some rear wheel drive cars and trucks you can sit there all day if you want to (not recommended unless you really like punishing your car and you’ve got a lot of money to spend on tires)
  7. Roll out and stage. You’re ready to race.

If you’re NOT going through the water box (dry burn-out or brake-stand)

  1. Drive AROUND the water box, NOT THROUGH IT.
  2. Follow everything else above. It will be more difficult to initiate the burnout when your tires are dry so you may have to rev it up higher before you drop the clutch.
  3. Your tire rubber won’t exactly be hot and melty but doing a little burnout before you get to the line will help knock all the little crap off your tires before your launch.
