Two tires spinning would make the truck go sideways. Get some used snow tires. The tread is thicker = longer, smokier burn out.

I would think line locks for the front brakes would be a big factor in keeping it sitting solid for a good smoke show. I've never really tried in a controled setting though, so I'm sure the drag strip guys here have better experience than I in that department. ;)

There are quite a few of em. I saw a LUV at the NC Speedway smoke for a good minute. I was in awe.

It don't really matter what you got on the front end, it still can slide sideways. If its a posi unit, theres nothing to hold the truck straight when both wheels are smoking away. It will only slide if theres a slope or slight slope on the pavement. But im sure they picked a flat spot to do the contest anyways.
