i dont wait after a run, maybe 1 or 2 minutes and i go again.. if you cant run your car non stop..i wouldnt want it, i want a street car that can run all it wants and not heat up or anything, i was running nonstop, temp was 150-170 and it was a really hot afternoon

the reason not to use the waterbox with street tires is the water stays in the tread and makes your tire wet.
I only did this once, and spun through 2nd gear with a super quick et of 16.9.
also street radials hook better when cool.
I just do a little spin before the start.
then I test my launch.

Its not about not being able to,but when you hot lap your times will keep going down(get worse)
