"side-stepping" on the burnout...

[Skinny]

I think this is part of the culprit for my lowsy d/r 60's. I never can get a good burnout because the car starts drifting to the side. I have to let off and pull through early because I'm almost completely sideways. What causes this and how do I prevent it? Would line locks help?

dont worry about doin a burnout.

your sliding a bit b/c one wheel is gettin more power than the other or some crap. get posi!

you dont need to do a huge smoke show. Just spin em quickly to clean em off and warm them up a bit.

Otherwise, your just loosing milage on the tires.

wrong he has drag radials he needs to make um smoke the best thing would be a line lock so u can lock the front breaks soild and the rears have no pressure on them makes burnouts so much easier

As mentioned by slacker (and in my original post, that's what I meant by "d/r") I'm on drag radials. I DO NEED a big smoke show. Also I'm not just sliding "a bit" ... I'm really pulling. The rear always moves to the left. As for more power going to one wheel, I have a torsen differential (a pretty new one at that), so that should not be the case.

Another thing just occurred to me... this only happens when I have the drag radials on. Street tires this doesn't happen.

they grip better..more weight it on the left side so the left tire (when cold) is gonna get more traction and will heat up faster try a counter weight ;) ...naa....um maybee change the air pressure, add a little more air to left tire when its cold 1-2 psi...might work?...just a guess...hope ya figure it out ;)

I'm with Nikon, add a few psi's to Mr. Lefty so he doesnt grip as well... it will keep it from going left on you [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you need to, lightly pull on the Ebrake during the burnout with a linelock to keep it under control.

Line lock arrived today. Installing tomorrow. We'll see what happens from there.

hope it works
