A couple of minor items to add to this. Don't vehicles 5 years and older have to run water-only in the radiator? Meaning you have to drain your coolant before you get to the track and fill with water. Or they have a hose there kinda by the timing shack so you can dump n' fill. I've seen cars there that do that anyway. Also, automatics have to have a working neutral safety switch meaning you shouldn't be able to start your engine when the tranny is in neutral.
After driving around the water box and if you back into it for the burnout, make sure to PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE if you have an automatic. Burnouts in reverse are emabarrasing and a potential accident waiting to happen. Don't ask how I know
