Drag Racing Tech - How to heat up slicks?

I just got a set of slicks and was wondering the proper way to heat them up. Do you roll through the water or spin them in the water? Also my cars a M6 so whats the best way to start spinning the tires w/out screwing up my clutch? Know alot of this is stuff you have to learn from experience but would like to have an idea of what to do before I go...

roll back into the water, get some water on them, then roll forward, then spin them. with the manual just drop the clutch at a higher rpm in first and it should do the trick

:werd: i'm with him , pull around the water then back into it, make sure to keep the front set dry:)

Get a line lock......you will likely fry your clutch w/o one.

My clutch is still stock... Would there be a good way of going about heating them up, Going Friday so I wont have time to get a line lock. Any suggestions or would I be better off not heating them up?

some people although I would not like to do it pope the clutch in first or 2nd and then hit the brakes so it kinda acts like a line lock except you are wearing on your rear break pads.

hope you dont have the stock rar in there running them slicks

Thanks Ill probally try that, if not just run them w/out heating them up

And yeah I do have a stock rear, dont plan on launching too high

I've always dumped in second w/o a linelock.
If they're new tires, they need to heat cycle thru 2-3 burnouts, so make them count.
;)

The guy it the pits at Island Dragway told me to get my rear tires in the water and do a quick spin in to get the whole tire wet. Then roll out of the water and do the burnout (I do it in 2nd gear and have a linelock)

Thanks guys headin to the track friday night so ill see what I can do :drive:

It's not the clutch you will fry, it's your rear brakes that takes the damage when coming out of a 'powerbrake'

you should be able to feel the tires grab... if necesary go do a dry hop or something if your unsure

Thanks guys really appreciate the advice
