Ensuring Both tires spin during burnout?

I pulled a 1 legger brakestand the other night, and im worried. Is there a method to ensure both tires spin during a burnout? Like start out at a low RPM or something? Im going to the track Sunday and Im concerned about my rear's integrity. Is this a sign of the clutches in the rear wearing out, or is this common from time to time? Usually my posi works fine. Any info appreciated.

just get the tires a lil wet and drop that clutch!

this used to happen in my 94 M6 T/A
it would happen if I was too soft on the gas.

SLP sells a take out differential for around $100. The dealership wanted $400+ for the same item. I paid another $100 to have it installed. Its not something I would do unless you know about setting up a rear end properly. My car had the same problem, and i bet that as time goes on your rear will get worse. On the bright side, It's cheaper to only replace 1 tire insted of 2

Differential $100
Installed $100
Seeing 2 long black streaks in the rear view Priceless

No, there is a speed shop nearby, but I'm sure any decent garage could do it. I didn't think it was worth it to upgrade because I have big plans for the car and I'd like to get a 12 bolt eventually. Check out SLPonline.com
