i do this as well...... as soon as the tires break loose I shift then come out of the water box...

EXACTLY.  The moral of this thread is either do your burnouts right or spend a bunch of money you don't really need to spend. And ANY car that races brackets needs slicks to have a chance in hell of winning. Even a painfully slow one that does high 12's.  :2thumbs:

A smoky 6 grand 30 second burnout, NO. Cleaning the crap from the pits off the tires,  YES. 1st>2nd>3rd & drive out of the water. It went like .15 quicker with the 9" slicks despite the taller size compared to the radials and the heavier steel rims they were mounted on, so they definately helped some. It 60 footed a tenth quicker. I made the semi's a few times when I ran it in heavy eliminator back then but never won.

I like it better when someone uses some little cutie in cut off jean shorts to clean off the crap from the pits!  :naughty:
