Everytime I go to burn out on the track my car seems to go sideways. How do I keep my car straight when I am trying to do a burn out in the pit
Thanks

1: Get a diff with a spool
2: Make sure the diff is square to the car.

Some waterboxes are worn out and the cars will still slide to one side.

Re: water box question
at one track i go to in particular, my car slides sideways in the burnout box. ive found it helps to blip the throttle lightly as im pulling out of the water to spin the tires over and get them totally wet. this gives the tires just enough extra time to get up to speed before they begin to "bite". you need to have plenty of wheelspeed, also to keep the car straight.

My car stays perfectly straight in the water box. When I come out, it drifts slightly to the right. You can see it on the video in my sig.

Mine drifted right too, on the 245/50/16s...Now, it drifts left on the 285/40//17s. Dunno why the tires changed that. I've neverhad a car drift left before.

Re: water box question
Make sure they have the same air pressure in each. A few pounds difference can change the circumference of the tire. Some times the tires are mismatched and having the same pressure will have a different circumference.

Try switching them side to side and see if it still drifts in the same direction.
