Mikes reply is sound advice. Anytime you drive through the water to do a burnout, remember that you are drying up the rears during the burnout. The problem is with the deep tread the fronts have, they still have water in them. So driving around the water is important. Now you have a choice to reverse into the water and the pull up to do your burnout or do a dry burnout.
The key thing to avoid is a dry hopping. This when your rear tires grab then lose grip then grab again very quickly. It causes a jerking or hopping action. This is when damage is done to the rear end. So be careful.
