I dont wana be bompous.. but hell no. I can never, never ever understand why on earth drag racers do such iditotism... I am racing a bit... for a bit... and a well known thing, that burnout only required for those enormous walled drag racing tyres... a normal slick like yokohama advans or red yokos, or avons just do not need... and it is an inconvenient way to heat a tyre...
First of all, all of that surface heat from friction ll gone while you are standing still, and on the first meters via heat transfer... and the other parts of the tyre are stone frozen... Than if you overdid it, the tyre ll "cristalize", making it less grippy and ll worn easily...
However as i know there are proper ways to reach the required temp... or close to it... couse it should be about 60-80°C
First and the easiest way is what you can see in the start line on a rally stage. Set off with the car, floor it, left foot on the brake and keep it to a speed (50-100km/h), than shake it from side to side, mowing the weight from one side to another. This ll warm up the whole car, the brakes ll warm up, warming up the rims, and the air in the tyre, and the same time via the weight transfres and the loads, the INER friction ll heat up the tyres. Yeah. it takes some brakepads, and it requires some space...
The second is rollers. They put two litle rollerpads under the wheels, so the car can run while it is standing. The rolles diameter is about 100mm. The two rollers pus the tyresurface in a bit, and that folding method ll heat up the tyre via iner friction.
The most elegant way is the tyre quilt. The same equipment what you see in the f1. It ll not worn the tyre, but it requires a power suply, and the car should be rised. It is the most expensive, and the slowest method.
The only thing why we do a spin in the startline is cleaning up, so we spin it for no longer than 2s, so it ll drop all the stones and grass out...
Sorry for the long post... and again.. I dont wana be a jerk.... just i think the burnout is a bad way to heat up the tyre.

Ok... if you wana show of, and make the greenppeace cry... than put it in reverse, floor it, and when you got some speed, put it in second, rev it for a sec, than kick the clutch, and floor it like hell, and when it slows, pull the e brake...
There are two important thing. do not do it with your fav car.. or any of yours... it ll kill it.
The second thing is positioning. Stert it in front of the crowd of pimp, and place it that the car stalls behind them, so they get the most of the smoke... and dont forget to scream some nasty words under the operation :-D
side effects.
some may say you are a cock... an ass... enviormentalyfriendli chicks ll hate you.. some may call for cops...
