Even in 4x4 I saw the issue. The stuff they put on the track to keep the rubber on the grooves is slick if your tires aren't hot. I wouldn't worry too much about it honestly. At least you can make multiple passes and drive it home. That's the main thing.
Thanks for the insight Ryan good to know. Doing the burnout is still my favorite part, and the burnout box guy was enjoying them too. I'm not worried, did 9 passes and the truck just laughed at me and then we drove home pulling my little trailer.
