Slicks and burnouts/launching - SRT Forums

SRTrent · 11-21-2009, 12:03 AM

Ok so I'm going back to Beech Bend this weekend and I'll be on slicks. My first question is do I do a burnout in the water box or do I spin the tires in the water box a couple times then roll out a little in front of the water box and do the burnout? My second question is when at the line and ready to launch should I use the E-brake to preload the suspension? I have the N2MB 2-step so it seems like it would be hard. My third question is do I slip the clutch really fast when launching? I'm sorry if these have been asked before I know there is a thread about slicks but I'm not gonna read through the whole thread just to find the answers. I gotta get some sleep.

I go thru the waterbox, and do a 2nd gear burnout at the crest of the water. Do a decent burnout, then let the car pull me out as i drop the ebrake. Slowly turn on the first prestage bulb, then creep forward til the 2nd one comes on. I free rev til the first amber bulb comes on, then hit the 2step. I dont use the ebrake when launching, but do a very quick slip of the clutch, not just dump it. Get ready for 2nd gear, it comes up quick! Good luck, keep us posted on how you do!

Don't worry I got it on video I just need my friend to send me them now. I don't think I did too bad for a bolt on + slicks car especially for my first time. The first run was the best and I launched off the 2-step then the 2nd and 3rd runs the 2-step didn't wanna cut on so I launched off the rev limiter like a retard

2nd run I was breaking up right when I hit 4th and the 3rd run I missed 2nd. I'm not gonna lie I was scared haha. Burnouts were weak too. I only rolled out of one of them

Anyone with a N2MB 2-step wanna let me know how to do a burnout by dumping the clutch at like 5k-5500 RPM's and have the 2-step work while staged?

Nice run on the first pass. What size slick you running? how much psi in them, and what rpm were u launching off of the 2step?

Rhunter · 11-21-2009, 09:39 PM

Very nice man!!!

Really good 60' times so whatever you did for launching I'd stick with it!!

Dude you got it man!!! Get some more mods to get the MPH up and you will be a stock turbo low 12 sec car

You run what I run on nitrous & DR's

haha thanks guys! Yeah there are some haters & doubters out there so I had to shut them up before the race season was over. And to be honest I don't know what size slicks I borrowed them from a friend but I'll look at them tomorrow. I had about 13psi in them. Hopefully I'll get the videos soon. For the first run I had the 2-step set at 4200 RPM's then I upped it to 4400 and then it didn't work and I hit the rev limiter

go into the user interface and turn off the rpm lockout for the two step and that wont happen
