if you have a basically stock vehicle, no drag tires just street tires, you dont have to burnout, right? and you dont need to, either.

Thats correct. Street tires grab better when cold. Unlike drag tires where they work better warm and sticky.

Yup. Just drive around the waterbox. You might want to turn them over, just a bit, to clean them off. No big Jon Force smoke shows, though.

Yeah, like markuz said, don't go through the waterbox. All you'll do is piss of the big boys at the track that run slicks when you throw water halfway down the track from getting it in your tread.

Yup, drive around the box, give it a little jab of the throttle to scuff em up then get lined shallow.
