Why do people pull straight through the water box?

If I were at a track that allowed people with street tires to roll thruogh the box, I would load my car up and go home. There is a reason that many tracks don't allow it. it's not just a performance issue but, it compromises saftey. Imho... If the op is bummed about GLD, go to Byron. Everyone backs into the box there...
Maybe they made it that way for a reason.

Thats dumb that you HAVE to drive through the water at some tracks though becuase what if theres people that for some reason dont wanna do a burnout? Like if its there first time and there just getting the feel for things.
When GLD is prepped nice I dont have a problem but sometimes they dont prep very well if they even prep it at all and thats when I get made about people dragging water up to the line.

A lot of drivers are new and don't know any better. It's not like they have a class to tell you what to do and what is expected before you can race. They should really do something like that.

this just makes me wanna buy skinnies so i can roll right thru the waterbox..... i have never driven thru the waterbox, i always have driven around it and backed into it... and i have never taken a pass on street tires.... i bought my et street radials before my first pass ever and thats all i use...
oh and while we are on the subject of track etiquette i hate when people ignore the pre stage common rule.... or u will prestage and it will take the other guy 30 min to prestage..... and u sit there while ur tires cool down and it screws up ur routine.... I HATE THAT!
