biggrin I must admit I did have to ask a few years ago what one was only because I saw it mentioned on here a few times. I was then shown a youtube clip outside the acecafe meet of what it does - rubber, smoke and more smoke

Probably realised, on reflection, that he doesn't need a line lock to create smoke. hehe

Oh, the price of decent 20" rubber may have been a factor. wink

I am tempted just because of rear brake wear doing it the left foot way, but thinking about it, I'd still want to do them left footed at times too, and I don't think making huge smokey burnouts even simpler is going to work out much cheaper given tyres are £200 a pop... hehe

Plus I like the control / feeling of doing it with your left foot, you can control the speed and things biggrin

I think some of the older folk on here do "burn out" every time they "pull off"

Think it's just an age related stamina thing ! hehe

Have the best of both worlds, if you want to do it the easy way use the line lock, if not use the left foot way smile
