I would say alway do a water burn out with slicks, it doesn't have to be a John Force style smoke show, but it's easier on your drivetrain than a dry hop, and you'll know for sure your tires are clean and warm, just stay away from the dirt Scott just put down
I am not off roading with the damn things, geeeeze ! You pick up the sand from just driving through the pits and return road. On a hot day when the ground is already 120+ degrees I see no use in burning out. If I can get 1.41 60ft. times doing this way let me know if you have something that nets you better times.
And I will beg to differ on what is harder on the car. 10-15 seconds in a waterbox vs. one slap of the throttle ? Hmmmm
The knocking off the sand part came as a suggestion from the track manager (Wade) many years ago. And I find him to be far more credible than any of us since he is the man that preps the track surface. But you guys do want you want I know nothing.
