I would just spin them to clean them up then stage, no really point in burning out for a while since there street tires

ya i know not to do a burnout on street tires cause it raises the pressure back up, plus they only have about 40 miles on them i gotta keep them in good shape

3 sec. is not a burnout and avoiding water box is good if your track has enough room to bypass it without getting in the overspray.
