burnout curosity

Jim Head did some testing some time ago, I believe it was with his Top Fueler. He made a couple runs with out any burn out what so ever, just wiping the tires clean. It really made little difference in the performance of the car. He also stopped "wacking the throttle" to seat the clutch during the warm up. That was always part of the show in the pits, now, hardly (if) anybody ever does that.
