Why would you want a controlled release? Your rear tyres are spinning anyway.

Manual activation is dangerous. Electric with momentary button on the fronts is the only safe way.

I meant that by cutting out the rear brakes rather than locking the fronts it allows you to do moving burn outs with the ability to creep forward... For street rather than at the top of the strip. But I agree with the momentary switch bit actually, didn't even know they existed.

Surely you'd still be able to do a rolling burnout with the front brakes locked by just letting go of the momentary switch, thereby releasing the front brakes. Personally, I think a rolling ( or creeping forward ) burnout on the street is very risky, verging on dangerous, too many variables. If your going to do burnouts on the street, then you want to be as safe and controlled as possible. Different at the track, front brakes, rear brakes, electric or manual, all personal preference

Agree lock off the rear brakes double foot and do rolling burnouts

If the tyres are spinning hard you will doing a rolling burnout anyway. You don't need to work the front brakes with your foot.

If you look at my two videos the only reason the tyres start to grip is because I am letting off on the throttle after releasing the front brakes.

Bloody amateurs.

also I have a Column shift so don't know where I'd put a momentary button

any ideas?

A Hurst line lock switch could easily be fitted to the column change arm.
