Do I need a line lock to do a burnout?

Question

I don't want to try a burnout with my car cause I don't want to tear up the rear brakes. It has disk in the front and drum in the back if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

NO.you need POWER.

Answer 2

if you cant roast 'em without the brakes then dont do it at all.  You will look like you are trying too hard.  

Answer 3

Don't even bother, it's a waste of tires and the only reason to do it is if you have a fully prepped race car with slicks which need to be heated up to stick to the track.

Answer 4

No you don't need one. It would be much easier if you told us what kind of car you had.

I drag race alot at the track for 20 years and have never ever noticed excessive rear brake wear. It's the tires you have to be concerned about.

Answer 5

no on most vehicles you can hold the brake pedal down slightly and get it to do a good burn out,its not really good for the back brakes to do this though,but that will do it,good luck.
