I do when I am at the track on my Nitto 555r drag radials. I basically treat them like they are slicks. They hook much better at lower tire pressure and when they are really hot.

When you pull into the box, don't sit with your tires in the center of the puddle. Drive through to get the tires wet, but start the burnout on the far side. If you put the tires right in the water and start spinning them, you'll throw water up into the wheelwells, which will then drip on the tires as you pull forward and get the launch pad wet. I've even seen guys get DQ'ed and backed off the line because it looks like the car is leaking something from all the water they picked up and dragged forward from the box.

Depending on how much power you have you may want to do a second gear burnout. Drag radials especially bfg's like a lot of heat.
