Unfortunately it does not come in scented candles.

its a sticky substance that you can pour in front of the tire and do you burn out in it or just apply it to the tire.

I would brush on the night before, I had good luck with VHT, tires lasted longer and hooked better at crap hole tracks. I've never had any of my cars on the street, so I don't know if it works on asphalt.

The best thing I ever tried was rotating slicks every 5 pass', that helped a ton.

LOL @ the video. He's sprayin' for mosquitos or something.

When I was 'carrying', I'd have a detergent bottle full of the stuff - and have a buddy squirt a small pool in front of the rear tires. Pull in to the pool, quick spin of the tires, and then creep to the line (give it time to set up). Beats having no track prep at all...

if it doesnt set up, you will smoke your tires out of the hole.
you want very little on the ground.
as far as spaying it on your tires the night befor-------- by the time you get to a street race it will be gone. along with alot of dust, road rocks and other crap stuck to the tires.

No get yourself a good sprayer (preferably a Concrete Sprayer) watch the video and you will see how good the other sprayer lays down. Its just like painting, if you put too much on it will puddle and wont dry as fast, if you "paint" the road it will be perfect. When that tacks up, depending on how warm it is, just pull a foot or two back from the starting line and pour a puddle and do your burnout. Make sure you do it a couple feet back else you will get backed up right into the puddle.

This man knows how to street race... and if the tires are old and to the point of not sticking well clorox for a burnout and usually a good long 2nd gear burnout And Lineing up in your tracks helps too... so many things you can do
