My thoughts are to either completely avoid the water, or at most back into the edge of it. That way I don't get water trapped in the tread voids or sling water up into the wheelwells. Pull forward a foot or so, set the line lock, get with it heating and cleaning the tires in the burnout, and then release the line lock and continue spinning 'em up approaching the line?
The other question is: What gear to do the burnout in?
The GTO is "torquey" and has 275/40/17s with a 3.80 ring and pinion.
The Roadrunner has wider 315/35/17s (for now) and a 4.10 ring and pinion, and also has good torque down low.
BOTH have rev limiters, so overreving is not a concern.
BOTH are 3x2 carb induction, and it's not hard to know when the outboard carbs are going to open.
Thanks.
