Re: No Burnout should it work?
I have had similar experiences after a burnout followed by a lengthy delay for one reason or another...car hooked as well as it ever did. Made me wonder as well.

Re: No Burnout should it work?
If you do your burnout and there is a very lengthy delay before you stage ( or when you stage), the contact patch of the tire tends to pick up the tracks rubber where the car was sitting. If I judge the delay to be too long, I usually try to do another burnout.
If the temp of the car is too high though, I won't do the second burnout. I am in agreement that shorter burnouts to clean the tires are all that is necessary unless the track temp is really low.

I watched a gentleman at the Jegs US Open at Indy one year get down to 3 cars in a 20k to win race where he drove around the water every run and did a dry hop. 4.90ish Dragster
