Default burnout technique: in the water box, roll through it, or on the edge?

What technique are you guys using for your burnouts?

I most commonly stop in the beginning of the box, do a quick hop to get the tires wet, and roll out to the dry pavement and do the burnout there. seems to get the tires stickiest.

i've also tried stopping on the edge, where the water ends and the pavement starts, and that seemed to work pretty well too.

I dont like to do them IN the waterbox because it throws the water everywhere and i'm a courteous guy and feel bad wetting the car behind me plus i dont feel theres enough friction.

This is on 26x8.5x15's doing a 2nd gear burnout, but i'm curious as to what works best for you.

Roll right past the water and do your burnout there. Gets the tires warmer and won't keep throwing water in your fender to fall back on the tire later when you don't want it.

We found that we get better 60' when we do a quick burnout rather then a smoke screen.
