It's not pretty smart in general. You can spin a few times to heat the tires up at the track just to make contact, but if your doing a burnout contest or trying to be Steven Papadakis or Lisa Kubo your doing it in the wrong car. Notice that "most" cars that do burnouts at tracks are pieces of shit with crappy front tires. If this is you, than I apologize, but if it isn't your asking for problems.
