Agreed. A doing a burnout on a radial is pointless. They aren't soft enough to do anything with the heat, the sidewalls don't give at all etc. In fact, a lot of times it makes it worse by making them feel greasy.
Racing on a radial is dicey. You have to find a sweet spot in the clutch and what rate to squeeze the go pedal. By squeeze, I mean just that. Don't stomp it, don't feather it because that will just induce more wheel spin. Definetly don't powershift on radials unless you want to find yourself in the wall on a cold night. lol.
