Any thoughts on the waterbox and spinning out before I get up to the line?

oh man, dont do it. i made that mistake my 1st time out. drove thru the water box and didnt do a burnout. dude, your on street tires and they dont need to be warmed up. drive around the water box. if anything do a little burnout after the water box just to empty the tires of any debris. if you go thru the water box and dont burnout you will spin all of 1st and some of 2nd. if you have slick then its neccessary to burn in the box.

+1, i never understand the guys with street tires going through it like if they have slicks and doing burnouts. i mean slicks are sticky hence they need the added help (water) to break loose and warm up....street tires don't
