Questions for the stick guys

[james schaechter]

The big thing with the burnout. You need to get the tires wet and move to the edge. It is also important to have the rpm high enough and to snap the clutch quickly to shock the tires loose. Some try keeping the rpm low and easing the clutch out. They think it will be easier on things, but it will probably just slip the clutch instead. Also, you need to be quick to clutch it out of the water to keep the engine from pulling down below the rpm where the clutch will slip.

There are times to keep the rpm up and burn hard forward if there is some water ahead of the box and you want to get passed it with assurance the your tires are dry. Keeping the rpm up during this point keeps the clutch from slipping too much also.

It will take practice, just be careful and have fun!
