I've tried the rubber removers everyone has listed. I wasn't impressed. Still took hours to get it off.
How far of a burnout are you doing?

In the water will throw water into your wheelwells and it can drip on your tires during the pass. You know what that can do.

Yep, pretty sure I did it after I rolled through the water. You know Orlando though, they try making you line up and burnout before the people in front of you even leave. Didn’t even need the water but I wasn’t going to go around it and then be closer to the people in front of me so they could sling crap all over my car

You're a new guy. Take your time. They used to do the same to me. I move when I'm ready.

and maybe that is the problem with you spinning. I'm not worried about water dripping, I'm concerned about getting the tires hot. I put the 315s on last year and I have hooked every pass since

With radials there’s really no need to you’re just supposed to clean them off, I def John Forced it though

2 back to back 9 second passes, first passes in 4 years and with this setup. Right lane was amazing. Healthy burnouts each pass. 3rd pass switched to left lane and spun sideways half the track, had to get out of it.

Big burnouts work for me. Not sure who came up with the clean them off stuff but see many spin that do that

Well that’s according to MT with their drag radials you’re just supposed to dust them off. I had success with the big burnouts, thought I was overdoing it though, but did hook for sure

So 3 passes on the 315s after huge changes in the car. I spun on 1 pass after a huge tune change. I was working on getting the setup right.

Big question is, how many competition wins do you have? Do you ever attend any events?

You can find me all over youtube beating a bunch of different cars. Just look.

you have to do what works. With a dust off there is a good chance you will bring water with you or not get enough heat in them. Sometimes they have a lake in the box, less is more. With a burnbox I can do it without water and would rather see that

My front runners are covered in prep, so track was definitely prepped well last Sunday, at least the right lane was

I have glue spots from the skinnies all over my garage floor.

I removed my burnbox. It would put traction control back in street when I released the button causing the car to try and stop the wheels from spinning. Sounded like it wanted to break an axle.
