Burnout

[RobsIron]

I have noticed that almost everyone at the track will stop in the "wet" area and start their burnout. The problem I see with this is that water is spraying all up in the fenderwell and when they stage it drips back down on the tires. I have always pulled around (depending on the track)and back in and get just the rears wet...pull out and hit it. I like to go around because I just don't like wet front tires at 130 mph. What do you guys think?

I agree that a car with any kind of street tires shouldn't be driving through the water and that all cars should do everything they can to keep from dragging water up to the starting line.
I used to have a little spot mirror on my door panel so I could open the door a little and see when I was clear of the water.

That is the way to do it. Sometimes I will drive through the water as long as there isn't a huge puddle. It still boggles the mind how many people do burnouts in the water. Get em wet and pull forward a few inches. That way a John Force burnout is not necessary to dry the tires off.
