yup this^ only practical application is for doing a burnout in a water box.

i know this is pretty much a topic for another debate thread but.......... i've read multiple times from multiple different sources that doing a "burnout" on street tires is pointless. best thing to do is either avoid the water box all together so your tires don't get wet, or just do a quick spin (as opposed to a car enveloping smoke screen) to clean the tires off.

ok... debate!

Yes, avoid the water box on street tires! The water gets in the grooves of street tires and will only hurt your launch. With street tires, there is no point to do a big smokey burnout...a little spin to get any debris off the tires and you're good to go.

With drag radials/slicks, the water box is useful. It's lubrication to get the tires spinning for a purposeful big smokey burnout. These tires respond to higher temps, resulting in a better launch.
