you do not want to roast them, about 6 seconds or so and thats good. roll up to the water box and stop the back tires in the water and then do one tire roll over, you know spin the tire to get water all over it. Then pull forward out of the water about a foot or so and then do the burnout.

Get a spotter or tell the dude runnin' the tree that you'd like some help.

Are you gonna drive to the track on these tires or swap rims when you get there?
If you drive out there on 'em, check 'em to makre sure there's not alot of crap that got stuck to or in 'em.
Play with the air pressure too. Find out where they hook the best @

That whole process sounds fun. Someday I hope to get a chance to do that. Until then, I will continue to take my 6 and bath the tires in vegtable oil in order to get them to burn out just a little.

I think BFG makes the tires that smoke in color.
Yes, pour some bleach on the road, roll thru it, get the tires all covered and prepare to be amazed

Takes practice man, the only way to perfect it is to get out there and try... Talk to people in the pits and ask for tips, or get the track prep guys to stand beside your car and tell you what to do. I was very confused my first time too!

Or when you are in line, just let the guy you're racing kinda take the lead...Do as he does (just hope he knows what he is doing lol)....

Light up the first yellow staging light, stop, then slowly pull up a few inches to turn on the second yellow staging light, then take off at green...If you time it right, you can take off before the green.
