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.
I am so over trying to give advice and getting constant arguing. If a dry hop works for you, great, but I promise a mild burnout with wet tires (not
in the water box
) is easier on your drivetrain. What do I know anyway, I'm just an idiot. What's your car weigh Scott? I guess a 1.61 ain't too shabby for a 4300 pound car with monroe sensatrac shocks and front sway bar, huh? I guess the next track day I better bring my micrometer to check my tread depth and stick to dry hops, God, I feel stupid after all these years....................
