avoiding water?

**wenn_du_weinst** · 09-13-2008, 01:51 PM

I was wondering if there is any way not to drag water on to the starting line with street tires I would just drive around it but the local track doesn't have room to drive around it

so is there anything I could do to lessen the chance of getting everything wet?

I think they pasted the law, that you have to do the burn-out !!! LOl !!!
At least do a short one to dry the tires.

One of the tracks I go to is the same way where you have to drive through the water, and I hate it. Just make sure to do a small burnout to get the water off as best you can. I do a few dry hops to make sure that I am going up dry as well.

For a while, my motto was " I win, so I can do another Burnout " LOL !!!

Hire a crane to pick you up and drop you in front of the water box so that you don't have to track water to the starting line. That's the way I roll.

Why would you not want to do a burn out? Don't like getting traction?

Personally I don't do much of one either if can help it. I spin them over for is not the heat, but to clean them off.. Street tires do not usually respond well to very much heat.

Waterbox for street tires is about useless. As someone posted just clean em off and get them a bit warm. Lots of street tire shootouts around here. Seems like when im dicking around on the street that if I get them too hot they become slick and not the good kind of slick.
