| No, under no circumstances should street tires wind up in a burnout box (exception: cheater slicks and drag radials). All you'll do is get water into the treads and drag it all over the track. Clean them off with a light spin on dry asphalt and you're set to go. |

| I drive around the water and just chirp my tires to clean off any dirt that may be present.

| my tires have always responded well to a little short burnout. i just roll through the water, not spin in the water.

| Just a quick dry chirp to dry them off. I hate it when people go through the water box with street radials and wet the starting line!!!

| Yup, around the box and give them a quick scratch on the dry pavement. On my sportsman pro's, I back it into the first edge of the water, hit the lock and let them go for ~4 seconds, anything more and they're useless.

| Just my 2 cents, but I think burn outs are a waste of time with street tires. Not including a drag radials. But the composion of the street tire does not make a useful difference when you heat them up. They are completely different then drag radials or slicks. |

| Consensus I agree with the consensus. Burn-outs with street tires (other than a short, dry, clean off) are a waste of tread and $$$. Rev

| I got a question. I use Bridgestone Potenzas on my car, and if I smoke em on dry pavement, they get a nice coat of sticky rubber. Would they glue up like that through the box, or should I just chirp em out of the box like your saying?
