Taking a slower car is a great tip. Thank you. No pressure and no expectations other than learning. Thanks for all the tips guys please keep them coming.

It is the "controlled" burnout that concerns me. Only ever done them in abandoned parking lots with wide open space and lots of room. Some are good some are very bad.

Take a gallon or two of water out to a lonely road and practice burnouts, and you'll discover that it's not that hard. If you are on street tires, you don't need a burnout. Drag radials and slicks, go to the track and see how others do it. Eventually you'll have a certain amount of time, RPM or tire sound you listen for. Go for it!
