ITS CALLED WHEEL HOP ither you need shocks or tracktionbars or both but it is not good to do ive broke driveshafts but it is caused by your leafspring loading and unloading because your springs arenot strongenough to hold the rearend down but untill you fix it ill tell you thisDO NOT DO NOT DO BURNOUTS

blk79camaropro is absolutely correct, don't do burnouts till you fix your rear end problems. In addition, if you have a later model car with coil springs, check your trailing arms and panhard rod for bad bushings or signs of rod flexing. You may want to replace the bushings with stiffer ones, and the linkages with heavy duty ones. Otherwise learn to take off fast without lighting up your tires. Remember, while the tires are smoking the car is not moving much and the ricers will eat your lunch. If you are interested in serious drag racing, you may want to consider installing a driveshaft safety loop, this will keep your car from pole vaulting in case the front end of the driveshaft breaks and digs in into the road surface, flipping the car over.
