I have no intentions of street racing. I was trying to see how fast it was and if I could drive good enough to get it there. Its only $35 to race without looking in your rear view for flashing lights. A burnout with street tires cant hurt, I personally dont. However, at the track, going through the water box with street tires is a bad idea. If you have street tires and go through the water, it gets in the tread of your tires, then when you pull up and are sitting at the light the water makes its way down to the ground and you end up spinning the tires. I see this way too often, my best advice for a burnout with street tires is to avoid the water box completely.
