‣ Turn off the traction control if your car will let you. To find out the exact steps needed to complete this, consult the owner’s manual.

At this time, you should be performing a burnout, and your front tires should begin to spin.
Remember to stop so you don’t total your car if your front tires aren’t spinning at all or if you can’t see or smell burning tires.
