NOOB QUESTION: How do you do a burnout with a manual car staying in just one spot?

the purpose of a burnout is to heat up the tires and clutch prior to racing. the heat allows for better traction. while its common to see, you should do burnouts with regular street tires, these tire are designed to have traction in all weather and a burnout will only wear the tires out faster. if you really want to do a burn out make sure you do it in a safe place away from traffic (unlike the idiot in the video). all you do is rev up the engine and drop the clutch. or you can put on your e-brake and do the same. yes it puts a lot of strain on the car (, axles, tires, clutch).
