Since you're a 6MT, you may want to go to a nice, "isolated" parking lot and practice your smokeys. You should be able to get a decent burnout without a linelock kit.

I'm just really bad at burning out. Definitely need to practice.

Lots of wheel spin.

You can cut a better 60 foot on street tires, so maybe DR isn't for you at this stage.
Line lock kits are nice, but really you just need to drop the clutch with some high rev's in the water box and as soon as the tires slip apply some brakes to keep you there. If your back end starts getting swirly and trying to turn you put the clutch in and stay on the brakes (while counter steering).
Some tracks tend to keep you straighter then others while doing a burn out, most people fear doing a burn out and needing to counter steer to keep the car straight.

Thanks for the tips. I know I have a lot of practicing to do. Mainly, making use of my DRs because my "burnout" is really just a second or two long...lol
