Doing burn outs or getting the tire hot is a bit different with the drag radial slicks, or dot dr's. Overheating the tire with radial style tires is probably one of the biggest issues (next to air pressure), and once the tire is overheated they get greasy, or with the big powered cars to just go up in smoke off the line.
The biggest class racing around here nowdays are all the small tire classes (10.5", 10" and the 9" dr classes). Because of that they are spraying the track between running all the classes/rounds, and there is already enough bite on the track for the the drag radial dot tire cars (9" tire) to run mid 7's, and the 10.5 guys run mid 6's.
No one does 'bunny hops' or a quick spin after heating the tire ...no need to test or clean that way.
