Use the footbrake to hold it, and theres still enough power to spin the rears.

Use your left foot is probably the easiest way, but be quick after taking it off the clutch.

There isnt really much point to a burnout though - learning to do donuts would be far more entertaining :D

Just a bit of quick footwork - bring your motor \'round mate and we can pop up Homebase/MacD\'s and amuse all the kids - its good fun :D :D

Heel on accelerator, toe on brake... or you could just install a linelock (http://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&t=20173&f=10&view=findpost&p=257989)  :D
