Heat, heat, heat, is a transmissions worst enemy. At the track the key is to get the tires spinning as fast as possible. I set the line lock, in low gear stab the gas to 5000 rpm grab 2nd gear, then roll out of the water slowly lifting off the gas.. Same on the street no need to do long nasty show off burnouts, just get heat in the tires and the traction compound to the surface of the tires.
