At the quarter mile track I would back up into the water then pull forward about 10-15 feet to do a burn out in 2nd gear to heat up the tires. In 2nd gear the tires are spinning faster and heat up a lot faster. The water makes the difference as it lets the rpms rise without traction. As far as the clutch goes I dumped it at 5500rpm and it hooked every time jerking the front left tire off the ground about 6 inches. However, I would never do it on the street.
BTW...This was a '91 Mustang with a Windsor.
