Air the tires down to like 15 PSI(maybe less), do a nice burnout to get them warm and after that it just depends on the car. Play around with the RPMs and amount of clutch slip. If you're running 11.1s on street tires I'm sure you'll figure it out in no time

But any treaded can pick up water as you roll out of the box and if they put too much water down then it will spray into your wheelwells and drip down on the tire as you pull to the line.
We also have the issue of cold track surface temps. On a good day we might see 60 degrees and 40-50 degrees in the spring and fall are normal.
