Got scolded very severely for turning the tire in water many years ago when I attended "The Shoes" school, he could be very persuasive. 60's are very consistent.

i understand ur view of it throwing water up into the fenderwells. just like the reason you dont go through the water on a street tire. my track seems to think water is gold or something and often the water isnt but about a foot or two across. and if i just roll through it and stop there is about a 50 percent chance i will be sitting on dry tire. however to each his own and whatever works to get a consistent 60' foot is what were all after in the end. how you get it is entirely up to you.

A lot of tracks or developing a practice of spraying the area leading up to the water box so that your tires are getting wet even before the box. I think that the reason they do that is to help prevent people from feeling like they need to drag water out of the box to cover the tire, which the guy behind him may not want so the track personnel ends up having to broom of the excess water which in turn slows down the program.
