man, i heat mine A LOT. so much that i have had the line guy wave me to stop!! lol.
the trick (ive learned) is to keep spinning to the line. that way they dont cool after the burnout. good luck!

Yep its always best to do a rollout after the burnout, and dont do any dry hops afterwards. Just go to the line and stage and hold on

I usually heat them up fairly good the first pass of the day, then from then on once I get smoke roll out of it toward the line. No sense in wasting rubber if I it isn't needed.
