Re:burnout pit
I always did what jeff said, exactly. I once did a burn out past the tree, and he said, they had to go back and re-set the computer, because the computer starts the race once you go past the tree...makes sense to me.
try to NOT get your tires wet, go around the water pit, and then do a big smokey burn out. your tires wont be wet and will heat up faster. (just an idea)

It really depends on the event, a test and tune or a tournament if they really want to enforce the rules.

I usually set my Uberdata's full throttle launch at 7500 rpm, pull the e-brake, floor it for a few seconds, then drop the clutch. when you start to see white smoke, drop the e-brake, and when you feel your *** end drop into the dip for the water, let go of the gas and mash the brakes
