Wheel spin

I saw some vids on youtube, and they put something on the ground before warming up tires (burnout) .
Do you know what is this thing?
Does it works?

Edit: searched a bit more.... This is water? To remove debris and to warm tires enough not to dammage them??
Old school are used to put some vht...

It's just water. VHT would dry out the rubber and the tires wouldn't last as long.

A water box has been part of drag racing for quite a few decades. Welcome to current day racing.

In highschool we used to use bleach for some nasty white burnouts lol.

Always cool to see international members.

Yep, it's usually just water. At a drag strip it's ALWAYS just water.

Some of the home made burnout vids you'll see on YouTube and stuff are other stuff- bleach and water is a common mix to make some really smoky burnouts.

water to help the start of the burnout

heat of burnout eliminates water


VHT added to track/street surface - post burnout area aids traction.

Thanks for infos!

I'm trying to create a club here since there are at least 30 mustang owners here.
But the only drawback is that parts are Very Very Very expensive to ship here.

I like this forum, nice classfields section, and lots of talented mechanics for our mustangs!

Short story... I was in LA in january, and wanted to bring back some kn air filter oil. No one wanted to ship by plane(ups,usps,dhl...dangerous goods) so i contacted cargo freight to give me a quote for tahiti.
They said that i ve to put it in a special box, and will be approx 500$ lol!!
