RE: SSHS6
Mike....I just noticed in the video...the reason your tires wouldnt smoke(or get enough heat, or get sticky) was because you were doing your burnout IN the water. That's a no-no.
you are only trying to get them wet so you can start your burnout easier.
the key is to be on DRY pavement with wet tires. You back in, stop, and drive forward about 12-15 inches so the tires are wet, but the ground is (close to) dry.
...doing a burnout IN the water will net a horrible combination of wet wheel-wells(that drip on your tires as you go down the track) and rubber that is not sticky, but gummy...it gets wet, and turns in to a sort of mayonaise-type texture.
had your tires actually gotten HOT, you might have needed a helmet....
also, mounting slicks on chrome wheels is another no-no...the chrome allows the wheel to actually turn inside the tire's bead...this can be costly(ruin the slicks), and dangerous...plus it's awful on the chrome wheels.
