   For the best effect, street tires are also desirable, which have smoother surfaces that'll put out more smoke. , Depress the clutch fully and start revving the engine.
   
   You shouldn't start moving, as long as you've got the clutch all the way in.
   
   Get your RPMs up so the tires will be hot when you let 'em loose. , After you pop the clutch, your tires will be spinning very fast, so you can either pop it to speed off and perform a peel-out, or you can keep the hand brake or parking brake locked to spin your tires and create smoke, performing a burnout. , When you release the clutch fully, the tires should start spinning very quickly, resulting in the burnout smoke.
   
   To stop the burnout ease off the accelerator and free the brake. , When ready, release the footbrake and the car should wheelspin.
