Water coats them making them not so sticky briefly so you may heat them up with a burnout, it just makes it a little easier without the risk of breaking something from your torque.
My trick is.. and pay attention, with street or DR tires !after going around the water line! I pull up about half way to the start line and with my coilovers tight and my tire pressure about 21psi, I'll get myself a little momentum in reverse and slam it into first popping the clutch. I then quickly and carefully turn my wheel side to side getting my tires as evenly heated as possible. You will see your times drop significantly at your 60ft and in the quarter. You may even get a new top mph by doing this.
Launching... try launching about 2500rpm or just under. You'll find the sweet spot somewhere in between 2300-3000.. your doing your burnout and launch at the highside and will you just keep spinning.
Let me know if this helps you at all next time. I learned by watching and doing no worries you will get better at it.
x3 on abusing the transmission. Your driver mod FTL
I thought it was useless to burnout streets and was actually less efficient?
