I also felt it was too hard on the trans starting the burnout in second. Second is probaby the weakest of all gears because it is the band doing the job, so i started them in first just to get the wheel spinning then shifted immediatley to second. t, took it up to at least 6 grand and then grabbed high. By tis time the Chevy camaro boys running the starting line are waving their arms for me to pull out and holding their ears from the sound of a big block mopar growling at their little ligtweight camaros but i tended to become blind and let the tires go till they hit their prime spot. My car needed a reall good smokey burnout  otheriwise it would be off a couple of tenths in the launch. and I must confess i enjoyed them. 
Why does it say dont do your burnout in low. 
Good advice and here is why. It the burnout is done in low when you let off with the manual shift reverse pattern valve body the drum speed skyrockets in reverse multiplication of the engine Rpm. It cannot stand this kind of RPM and will explode (Remember a manual shift reverse pattern Valvebody allows the trans to freewheel. there is no engine braking)
So i suggest and did myself. , just use first for a split second to get things rolling then get immediatley to second and then third. 
As to doing only wet burnouts. Excellant advice. Your trans will live longer and if you are running a posi it will last longer too. Nothing will kill a posi quicker than
a dry burnout behind a  500 Hp plus motor.
We always had a helper at the line to make sure we had both tires wet and where in the right spot. 
Now I heard someone already shouting that recommendation about doing less of a burnout and the car being faster. It might work for some but not for my car or the ones i have owned. We did some infa red tests . At 325f the car was almost but not quite 2 tenths off. I did my classic like the one on the cover of my book, and he told me the gauge read 525F. I dont know if that is true but the car ran its best with a good long  hard smokey burnoout. 
Dont let anyone rush you .Try a short, a meduim and a long burnout and then use whatever your car seems to want. 
If you are shy in the burnout when they motion to you then rent the movie Airport and watch george kennedy when thy tell him to shut down the 747  that is stuck. He just grins and says "i cant hear you the ----engines are making to much noise!" Words to Live BY!
