At KCIR, I am not sure you can drive around the water box very easily. I suggest driving on through it. The guy in the lanes will stop you in the box. After he stops you, just roll forward a few feet, wait 'til they tell you to burnout, and do a tire dry session in second gear (auto?). Footbrake about 1500 RPM, leave on last bulb, ease into the throttle, let 'er rip.
Regardless, you will have a blast, and be addicted. BTW, do we know each other? You're just down the road from Columbia. If I weren't going to Gateway this weekend, I'd be glad to help you!
