James, to me we're really not in much disagreement. A burn out to me is a hairy, smokey one. For that one needs a line lock. Not appropriate for street tires.

If someone goes around the water box and just spins a little on dry pavement to clean the tires, it can't hurt any.

I was thinking about backing into to the water, setting a line lock and doing a John Force thing.

I'm still not convinced that any even minimal spinning actually helps at all with street tires. To each his own though.
