people spinning street tires in the wet box.... it is useless and does nothing but make your tires less productive. the hotter street tires are the slicker they are. they are the complete opposite of drag slicks.
not only are you messing up your street tires but, your heating up your engine before you even launch.


very annoying to me. i know your thinking, who am i to talk, i cant even launch my car. I am just annoyed by noob things like that.
PS- your still one of my idols when it comes to GPs
lol Thanks Tek !

You would be correct for most street tires. Burnouts are useless and might even slow you down.
If you notice my best pass of the day had no burnout and I pulled a 1.995 60 foot on winter tires.

But later in the day, the sun went away the track got cold and the traction was gone.
Then I decided one time to do a little burnout. I got back what I lost in traction... my best 60 foot of the day was after a small burnout 1.992.
And the track was slicker at that point.

On a hot sunny day with a lot of compound, I wouldn't do any burnout for sure.
