DR's do. Spend 5 minutes doing a burnout and run outside and touch your tire. It might be slightly warm to the touch but it won't get sticky hot like a DR or slick.
if i burn my fingers, you're so gonna get it

honestly, i didn't know that. maybe it was all in my head.

On street tires I just spin them a little before the line. All it does is clean them off so you can prepare to spin some more all the way down the track .

You learned more than you think...you learned that you don't need a line lock for your fwd car.

since you asked that question it is obvious you didn't know the answer...since we gave you the answer we taught you something. Then the thread turned into a discussion about the need to warm up tires and which ones need warmed and which don't.

Thanks for playing come again soon we need more web fodder
