Burnout Poll

When doing a burnout prior to staging, do you do your burnout using 1st gear only or 1st and 2nd gear?

Its the size that matters!

Big "John Force" style funny car burnouts way past the 60ft mark, put it in reverse and back up enuff for a dry hop then stage. Totally not needed but very fun!!!

Since I have a Stage Right, there is no manual first so I let it shift to second. The nittos seem to like the tire speed anyway so it works out perfect.
