The burnout looks spectacular but really you don't need to rip a skid that big just a waste of slicks.
Look at how many pro racers run cars, for example watch Big George Haddad in his orange HQ Monaro next time at the drags he rarely does big skids just enough to get the heat into them.

The other thing you don't want to be doing is end you burnout half way up the 1/4. I see ppl doing it all the time and by the time they have their car back on the line the tyres have cooled.
A little cherp behind the line and then roll up, that's the way to do it

I noticed at All Performance Challenge that one of the BT1s, i think the JPC one, did a burnout, then right after an assistant squirted some yellowish liquid onto the ground for the rear tyres to run over. The driver then chirped it on the liquid and then it was ready to race.
What is that liquid? Some kind of grip adhesive or....?That team was the only one using it.

one off reasons it does such a big burn out is they pet have done nothing to the rear end like vas jpc ect need to get as much heat grip as they can cus off the power it put out spins the hole track cheers

Thanks for the correction. Making engine power can be throught of as 'easy' in our days, but the rear end is where all the competition is and what can give a few tenths difference on the track.
Notice how they dont mind if you take photos of thier engine bays, but once you start taking photos of their suspension - you get a firm warning not to
