I can honestly say I really don't change my burnout strategy during the course of the year. I start out in 1st, grab 2nd as soon as I hit the throttle, shift to drive around 5500 and hold it there until the rpms drops a tad. Than I release the line loc and burn out towards the starting line. It helps that I have a 10.70s ladder bar car with a 13" slick. I definitely have more tire than motor, but that helps on those hot greasy days when the faster cars may struggle a bit.
