Well to start off with, you don't have to do a burnout, you do whatever is comfortable for you. Its one of those things thats easier to say on the day i guess, if you want I (or anyone else) can come down the track with you.
The best thing i can suggest is watch a few runs, and get someone to talk them through with you. By watching other runs, you'll get an idea of how and when to stage. And then the rest there.... Im not the best explaining things with a keyboard, but if you want I can give you a hand on the day, and give you a few pointers.

Doing a burnout doesnt bother me .... hehehe done a few or 10 in my time :P .... but I just wasnt sure if it was expected ....... Im sure Im going to have a lot of things going thru this little head to be worried about how good a burn out Ive done ;) |

the most important part of your first time is to have fun, you'll love it once you've got a few passes under your belt and feeling comfortable with the car and the lights talk to a few people ask questions most of us are only too happy to give advice or encouragement, you'll have plenty of time to ask questions while your lining up. and yes you have to do a burn, thats the best part, fry the guts out of them, it makes you feel great.
