You have it backwards. Any tool can do a brakestand, rolling burnouts are much cooler. If you're gonna stay in one place, you better be going through the gears. Once you get into 4th pull off the brakes and let er rip. To the thread starter, just hold it in 1st gear next time and keep the rpms up and it will be better, but not bad for a first time. My car is a 5spd, but I always dump the clutch in 2nd and ride the brakes, I've never used 1st gear in a burnout, it's a waste imo. Wheel speed ftw.
