Question Burnouts?

If i want to do a nice smokey burnout at the track before my run do i just have to take out my brake light fuse?

and if this is all i have to do in order to do so, where is my brake light fuse ? haha

If someone could let me know that would be cool, thanks

Unless you're using drag radials or slicks a big smoky burnout isn't doing you any good. For street tires all you need to do is spin them for a second to get any dirt off of the tread. Not sure about the fuse thing as I have an enthusiast and I just hit the button for traction control and that works for me.

ooh ok , i thought i would get a little more traction if i could power brake the car and heat up the tires a little more, specially now with the cold weather. I have no problem spinning them with the VDC off just wanted to power brake, but if your telling me its pointless then ill take your word and save some tread on my tires, Thanks

A lot of tracks won't even let you drive through the water box if you don't have slicks or drag radials on. Save your tread unless you get some drag radials or et streets.

Im in MD and go to either Capital Raceway where its almost a pain in the arss to not go through the water box, or Cecil county where its not a problem to dodge at all, but i was just thinking that id get a little more traction, but i guess not, my bad
