Man, the last time I went to the track which was a few months ago, I left highly pissed off just b/c of what you are talking about.
Out of say 4 runs, I only got good traction the second to last run and was highly discouraged by then. The water problem wasn't due to weak burnouts, however. The main reason was b/c the track officials didn't do their job well. They freakin sprayed too much water in the burnout area and it drained all the way across the staging area. No matter how I tried, unless I picked up the car and tip-toed over the water, there was no way to avoid it. I tried burning it off (with my new tires mind you), but I was like "Screw this man
, I shouldn't have to be wasting my tires". So I left pissed off. Havent' been back since. (but I will go back soon, when I get the gears installed)
