Ok wade - a few more things.

It looks like when you stage the car you are slightly off centre - try and make sure you are "in the groove", especially in a heavy car, it will help the launch.

Second thing, those tyres need to be almost a slick before they start to work, and they will stick better and better each time.

With lining the car up, try and get it centre as you pull in for the burnout - at WSID its like pomona - straight through the underpass, so make sure u are centred.

To late, burnt tires all round.


Have a look in the sizzler carpark, then out the street and down towards the roundabout.
