Which fuse to pull for burnouts???
I'm going to be going to the track soon and I need to know which fuse it is that I need to pull in order to be able to do a standing burnout. Pics and specifics would help greatly.
Thanks in advance

By pulling the fuse, this will stop your brake lights from working. With the fuse IN, if you hold the brake and give the car full throttle the CPU automatically cuts the throttle to 30%. Making it difficult to do a standing burnout.
If you pull the fuse, the CPU can't tell you are standing on the brake and you can do a brake stand.

I assumed you want to go FAST when you are on the track. Burnout generates a lot of smoke with no forward motion, which in turn losses time. Why would anyone do a standing burnout?

Throttle cut off happens for the manual also.
I do a standing burnout after the water pit, just before you stage the tree to warm up the tires and clean off all the crap that accumulates on the tires from driving around the pits.

Must have something to do with the brake depressed...because I definitely have no problem spinning the tires when I'm going forward.
I shifted hard into 2nd the other day and totally broke loose...I had to let off the gas. I haven't had that happen before...must be the new lighter rims.

The fuse must be pulled to do a "BRAKE STAND".
A brake stand is accomplished by pressing the throttle and the brake at the same time. By doing this, the car stays pefectly still while you smoke the rear tires as long as you want.
As opposed to dropping the clutch and breaking the them loose and the car eventually starts moving forward.

That really does not sound like it is going to be good for the rear brakes especially considering in the next 14 seconds or so you are going to be on them pretty hard. If you really want to do it right I would get a line lock. IF you are not running slicks you may not even be allowed to go through the water box.

if you fully depress the brake pedal it will damage your rear pads. you have to find the happy medium where the front brakes hold the car while allowing the rear tires to spin
doesnt really damage rear brakes, it can do a hell of a job on your tires though

The burnout pad is designed to heat up the traction tires (in this case, the rears). The added heat allows for increased traction for the quarter mile.
Now, on the road course, a similar tactic is used. However, instead of doing a brakestand, the cars will weave side to side, to bring the tires up to temperature - thus increasing traction.
These procedures help you go FAST on the track
