Give the steering wheel a little shake back and forth while in burnout and then let the e brake go.

When at the line, may or may not apply for s/c cars but for turbo cars you want the brakes to hold the car back as much as you can. To do this some people have pulled up to the line and when staged put the car in nuetral, give it a quick rev, hold the brake as far down as you can, shift to drive and then you can build more boost after you have raised the brake pressure up. From there on out its tires/air pressure/track surface and getting a feel for the pedal.

I would have to agree on the launching 100%

Just dont floor it when you are at the line with the brakes held down. You would more than likley want to bring it up to around 1500RPM's Anything above that is going to be making a LOT of unwanted heat.
