Jegs sells a type of blanket which was what i initially assumed this was about. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs...40_-1

In drag racing those are used to keep the sun off the tires because of the changes it can cause in tire pressure (especially in door cars where one side is in the shade and one is in the sun).

If you're talking about Formula 1 style tire warmers.... not happening on current NHRA budgets. Plus it wouldn't lay any rubber down on the track.
