1st time at the track advice.

Depending on how your track is set up, if you have to reverse into the water box for your burnout, remember to put your car back into a forward gear.

lol, I have seen more than one reverse burnout.

This usually causes severe butt pucker by the driver requiring a safety team to separate his Azz from the Seat.

Yeah that would,suck.
No it's a roll forward burnout area.I have seen guys do reverse burnouts...I guess it works for them.
it scares me when the track techs stand in front of the cars doing a burn out especially with their back to them.

My buddy did a burn out and had to stand on the brake pedal to avoid hitting the track dude that was just standing there at the starting line.?..I've got it on video from in the car.
Is there a rule about this or do the track techs just like to take their chances?
