The one you posted was I think from NMCA Digital, can run into ownership issues. I do freelance for SORC (they own/operate most of the car mags we like) and it can get tricky.

How much of an advantage do skinnies give you? I doubt that I'll ever have enough under the hood to make it worth my while, but I'm just curious. I think the look is pretty cool though as most cars with skinnies just haul arse on the drag strip.

I might of missed this this part. What if you can't go around the water box?
Our track located here doesn't have much room to drive around. I'm on stock tires too. Would I just drive through, do a quick turn of the tires to take the dirt/water off, and stage? |

I would always try to go around. If they make you drive straight through well that's not ideal. I would do a burnout to clean off the rear wheels.

Same here, if its inevitable just try to minimize how much water your driving through and then give them a spin to try and knock off any that you picked up on your way.

Idk if I missed it but what's the expert opinions on the staging lanes? Do you shut the car off or let it run? I see both sides....shutting the car off will stop creating heat if you're going to be there for a while but all stops the coolant from circulating. Buuuut keeping it running keeps the coolant circulating but also it won't cool off...it'll just stay at that temp.
